I agree with L4H. When I got my first cat, I only wanted 1. Then I realized he needed a playmate, he was still a kitten. I figured, 2 was not much more trouble than 1. They entertained each other and they were not lonely while I was gone. A few months later I came upon 2 more kittens. I DID NOT WANT any more cats. I didn't think I could handle it. But I wound up keeping them and I managed. I now have 5. I'm not telling you to have a lot of cats. But when you look at it in the grand scheme of things, after the initial vaccines and S/N the amount you spend on food and litter for 3, it isn't that much more than what you are spending on 2. If you get the kittens both S/N at the same time you might get a discount, or you can shop around. You may even be able to adopt a kitten at a shelter who is already fixed and has some of her/his vaccinations.
