Agree with 3 is better than one. I have two adult cats, I think they’re like 8 or 9, who were together since birth. Boy kitty is playful and loves being around other cats. Girl kitty is a little more indifferent to other cats and would get irritated by boy kitty’s attention. Last year I took in a stray. She was about 9 months at the time. She blended right in, like she had always been here. Boy kitty loved her on sight, girl kitty hissed a couple of times then gave up? Idk. But now boy kitty has a playmate so he mostly leaves girl kitty alone, girl kitty is happy to be loved on by humans, and kitten is well… a little crazy. When she gets her zoomies I call her parkour kitty lol. But they’re all happy and I love it.
In my case, 4 is better than 1. We had two that grew up together, Artemis and Loki. They both love attention, but Artemis doesn't care for playing with other cats, and Loki loves to play and chase his sister, so we got him a kitten (Anubis) so he'd leave her alone. Then, Loki hurt his hip and couldn't play as much, so then Anubis would bug Artemis. So we got another kitten (Hecate) for him and Loki to play with, and it works out perfectly. We only have to "protect" Artemis from Loki once or twice a week now instead of several times a day.
The way he does it is so funny though. He'll walk towards her purposefully, she'll start growling and run away, and he just slowly walks after her, he never runs during this. And repeat until we stop him or he loses interest.
