Are 2 cats better than one?

I was thinking of getting another cat around the apartment. My current kitty is 7 and he isn't very active to keep me stimulated. I was thinking of getting a kitten that's not too young to spice things up around my place. What are the disadvantages of owning two cats? Do they outweigh the advantages?

Only 1 cat. 2 is critical mass; soon you will have 80.

some times if you have 2 cats, they will chill with each other and not come and look to u for love 
but thats only if they really like each other i guess

two cats is ok but if your cat is 7 he might not like the new cat sometimes they don't for some reason

A friend of mine had 2 cats who hated each other. Hate, they fought to harm each other, not letting nothing slide, zero tolerance. After years it kept on getting worse and he had to give one cat away because they'd end up killing each other. They were two sisters from the same litter.
So its not always good to have 2 cats.

I have three cats, two brothers that are about 10 years old and one that's 16 now. They keep each other company all day and I often find them all cuddled up together asleep somewhere. They get along fine, and it's nice that they're never alone.
Although sometimes the two brothers fight and they'll be really shitty with each other for a while and won't go near one another, but I just make sure I pet them at the same time and give them both equal attention and they're buddies again within a week or so.

We have two cats and they are best friends / brother and sister. We had one but my girl wanted to get another so he wasn't 'lonely'. From different litters of the same parents.
That said.. twice the amount of cat hair.. twice the amount of shit to clean up and twice the amount of food.
And two cats is the gateway drug into "cat lady" status of owning 30 cats

Two cats can entertain each other when you aren't around, helps keep them from getting bored and into trouble.

Normally I've had two cats at a time. Always rescues.
They seem to chill the fuck out when there is 2, and they arent so needy all the time. Also they seem to be more chilled out since they are used to socializing and such.

i'm thinking about getting one since i just moved. i'd rather have a dog but i work full time and dogs need more attention than cats. i really want a cat but i'm still hesitant because i don't want my place to smell like a cat lives there..(would have to be very adamant about cleaning the cat box) and i'm not crazy about having cat here everywhere. still gotta think it out i guess

I think it sounds like a good idea to have two kitties. Kitties are social and I think they would benefit from having a buddy around, especially when we're not home. But you have to make sure that you'll do everything right and get another litter box and more toys and everything. And introduce them to each other slow and proper.
We went to the animal shelter the other day to look around for a companion for the cat we already have. We met a lover boy, but he's twice as big as the little girl we have now. We are worried that he might hurt her if they don't get along, but he's older and very calm so maybe not. He's solid black, naturally he's been at the shelter for a long time. I just want to bring him home.

you can add stuff called cat litter deodorizer I think its like backing soda or something that will help
I have 3 cats and it doesn't smell if you take care of it they like to play sometimes they fight but nothing serious and they don't like table food the only thing they will eat is steak or dry cat food

I'd just throw this out there: There is nothing --NOTHING-- more cute than two cats that love each other curling up together on a blanket and being best friends, grooming each other and then going to sleep in a kitty pile.

Two cats keep eachother entertained, but can cause so much chaos.
