Sometimes it is better if you purchase or adopt two kittens at the same time. Although they would probably cost the same, there is some compensation that makes it worth thinking about.  Buying or adopting two kittens together can actually make sense.

Taking a kitten away from its mother can be very traumatic for the kitten.  Suddenly, everything is strange.  There is a strange person who is fussing over it and the kitten suddenly realizes that it can no longer see its mother. His siblings are not even there and the kitten finds himself sitting alone in a box, in a strange place and they quickly become terrified. However, by buying or adopting two kittens from the same owner should mean that you are buying siblings and this will make the transition to a new home much easier on both the kittens and on yourself.

Aside from creating this security blanket of familiarity, the next best reason for buying two kittens is that you’re less likely to turn your home into a cat war zone!  Instead of waging war against your sofa, rugs and drapes to relieve the boredom, the kittens will chase each other.  Ok, so they may chase each other up the drapes, but that’ll soon wear off (about the time they get too heavy to hang there without gravity pulling them downwards) and it’ll be fleeting as they run around the room rather than literally hanging there looking for the best vantage point to view the birds outside!

The kittens will play fight and then they’ll snuggle up together.  They’ll both vie for your attention, and yet maintain a united front as they stalk about your home and yard daring other intruders to enter.  They’ll share a dish of milk and food, but fight over the same toy.  Two kittens may require more money to keep than one, but they provide twice as much love and amusement, and great company for each other which is the best advantage of all if you’re out at work most of the day.
