Thanks both for your replies. I work full time, but my flatmate mostly works from home, which is why we thought a single kitten would be fine. However, she has had more jobs than usual that take her away from home recently, and this will last until December. Following that, it will be better, but maybe it's a good idea to get my kitten a little companion anyway. Thanks for your suggestion of a boy. My kitten is a friendly little ragdoll. Thanks for your advice! x
