I adopted two male littermates about a year old in January.  I am out of 
the house 9.5 to 11.5 hours a day.  They keep each other great company 
while I am gone and their interactions are just another source of fun for 
me.  One of them has bonded with me very much and the other is a bit more 
nervous but is getting less so each day.  When I get home they both come 
out and great me for a few minutes and then either play in the living 
room or go back to their own room and nap in their window.  Two cats are 
a slight bit more work and, of course, almost double the expense but it 
is well worth it for me knowing they just don't get lonsome while I am 
gone.  It is not hard to find two cats in a single cage at any shelter 
where you are asked to take both.  Give this some consideration.
