Sing along with me now. Two cats are better than one, they’re twice the fun, ask anyone, a second cat can be second-to-none. Thank you, thank you.

And, truly, two cats really are better than one, and we’ve got the proof. Bored Panda has collected some of the most fun, wholesome, and hilarious photos of cat duos goofing and lazing about, all to heal and soothe your souls, dear Pandas.

Remember to upvote your fave cat pics as you scroll down. Just imagine that each upvote is like petting the pets. Oh, and there really are tons of benefits to having more cats. Not just for you—for the pets themselves. On the other hand, you should also be aware that far from every cat wants to have company: some felines find having a strange cat in their home very stressful.

PDSA Vet Anna Ewers Clark gave Bored Panda a look at the other side of the story, how domestic cats tend to be rather solitary creatures who tend to like their own company. “Although it can be tempting to think that your cat might benefit from getting another feline friend, quite the opposite could be true! Introducing a new, unrelated cat to an existing cat’s territory can actually be very stressful for them both, so think very carefully before getting ‘company’ for your cat,” she said that cat owners should be aware of this before introducing a new pet into the household.
