Have had many, simultaneous, both male and female.
Strongly suggest using two bowls, and even better, an automated feeder on schedule. Don't leave food out all the time, invariably one will hog the food, as well as it being a possible ant draw. A good automatic feeder is expensive but worth it. yes, fountains are a good idea, cats love running water, and it keeps the water fresh. One fountain is fine, but definitely give them each their own food dish. For litter, rule of thumb is one box per cat. They and you will appreciate it in the long run. |

Dealing with rescue kittens from the same litter, I can tell you ~generally~ the males are way more adventurous and play much rougher than the females. They'll bop till they drop...very entertaining.

Litter box - again, my experience is to have at least two boxes in different parts of the house. I’ve done this with multiple cats and a single cat. The only accidents I’ve had are from sick cats. I clean the boxes every day. Good luck, Llarry. |

^^ For feeding and watering: one water bowl would work. Or use a fountain. Never tried a fountain myself. I wash the water bowl every day with fresh water. For food I’ve tried two food bowls for two cats and found they eat out of each other’s bowls so it didn’t matter which bowl they ate out of. Would have two bowls for two cats so they could eat at the same time, or share a bowl; whatever they wanted. Dry and wet and I don’t leave food out all the time.

We did it. Two eight-week-old male kittens -- Albert and Maxwell -- came home with us yesterday. Cute as can be.
EDIT: My wife succeeded in getting shots with her iPhone. See attached. They are temporarily confined to our "pool room" (a large glassy room containing a swim spa) while they acclimate to their new home. The water fountain and automatic feeder are enroute via UPS and should be here within a few days. At the moment they are sharing one water bowl and one litter pan, but we have two food bowls on the floor for them. We have a pretty big house, and they will have many adventures exploring their new surroundings once they have the run of the whole place!

I know the arrival day is coming up for us soon. Still not looking forward to it. Those sofa damaging beasts do look cute though.

For those of you following the Game at home:
Great, GREAT news from the Specialty Rehab Vet yesterday. Max went in for another Shockwave treatment after his second PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) procedure. His hock, while dropping a little bit when he walks without the orthotic, is FAR better than it's been so far. The vet was STOKED. So, it looks like the PRP and Shockwave treatments are working and for the first time, the vet said that we may eventually be able to get him out of the orthotic. BUT, because he's not moving around as much (and getting a LOT of lap time), he's turning into a chonk. So, diet's for everyone, and the boys are getting special hydrolyzed food. We're down to two 1/8th cup feedings a day as per the vet's directions and the boys are.... displeased. But, to get him out of the boot, he's got to loose weight, so that's the way it's going to be. R.

Get scratching posts and cat furniture and throws for your couches. And if your cat jumps up on your lap to cuddle, consider it an honor.

Glad Max is doing better. And as far as weight goes, it could be worse. Lol

They are not brothers but have been together at the kitten rescue for weeks. Names? My wife came up with those.

I had the same thought when my wife came up with the names, but she is clueless on the Beatles, so I just kept my mouth shut.

My llamas have always been part pets and part livestock. I have not sold any llamas for 20+ years. So I keep them and care for them. At one point I had 14 llamas -- evenly split between males and females. The last cria (baby llama) was born in 2008, so the herd has gradually gotten smaller since them. The big reduction in size came in 2014; as I aged, I spent less time working with the llamas and, as any animal owner knows, the less you work with an animal the more difficult it gets to work with them. In 2014 I placed an ad on the local Craigslist: "Free llamas to good home." I got a pretty good response and ended up giving five of my younger (and less manageable) llamas to one family.
The remaining older llamas were easy for me to manage. But llamas have a life expectancy in the 20+ year range and I suffered losses due to old age. Recently I was down to just three animals: One elderly female and two near-elderly gelding males. A neighbor who has sheep approached me seeking advice about getting a guard llama and I responded by gifting him my female, while warning him that she did not have many years to go. But it's hard to beat free, isn't it? So now I just have the two males left -- and with too much pasture for too few animals, I am allowing my neighbor to graze his few sheep, along with the guard llama, on my pasture. The crisis will come when I am down to a single llama. Llamas are herd animals, and a solitary llama is a miserable llama. My vet says everybody is healthy but who knows what the future will bring... Here is a 2010 photo of just my male llamas -- half the herd at the time. The good old days.

We unfortunately let one of our previous dogs get up to 26 lbs. I don’t remember exactly how long, but it took a while to get him down to 18-20, where he belonged. It was rough for him yet needed to be done. But he was nothing like a cat at 40+ lbs.
