'My husband is not totally on board with becoming a 3 cat household': Pawrent adopts a shelter kitten and now struggles over whether to bring home its sibling or stop at two cats

This pawrent has found themselves in a true catch 22: after bringing home a fluffy little kitten for their two-year-old male cat, they can't stop wondering if they should've scooped up her brother too. The siblings had been cage-mates (cue the heart-melting snooze pics), playing and snoozing together like seasoned pros. Now, with one kitten curled up in her new home and the other left behind, the pawrent is battling a serious case of feline guilt.

The paperwork says the kittens are just shy of three months old and about 2.5 pounds of pure chaos. Technically not "bonded" yet, more like litterally besties. Still, the thought of that brother alone is tugging at this pawrent's heartstrings like a cat working over the curtains. Friends are shouting, "get them both!" while the husband, playing the role of Grumpy Cat, insists, "we can't save them all."

The real dilemma? Becoming a three-cat household means extra boxes, extra fur, extra food… yet also maybe extra purrs. The internet's verdict? Adopt now, meowsplain later.

Definitely get their sibling! Kittens grow up fast, but having a brother-sister duo means built-in playmates, double the cuddles, and nonstop entertainment. Keeping them together makes for the purrfect happy family.

It might cost a bit more in food, toys, and litter, but it also means double the cuteness, double the cuddles, and double the laughs. Totally worth it for twice the joy!

You don’t want to look back and regret not bringing the sibling home. If your heart already feels pulled, trust it. Go get the kitty and complete the duo!
