Re: I\'m buying 2 kittens this week
You guys have renewed my faith in OOT. Excellent advice re: cats.
To OP - this will be a decision that you will cherish for years to come. Having a cat (or cats) is a fantastic feeling comparable only to that of having children (only without the hassle). I second almost every piece of (serious) advice given so far and I applaud you for adopting cats from a shelter instead of going to a pet shop. Excellent!

Re: I\'m buying 2 kittens this week
Great to hear you are adopting from a shelter!
Some advice when you go. Don't rule out older cats. There are plenty of affectionate, playful cats that are in need of good homes. Some come from homes where the owner died or could no longer care for them. You know what you are getting with a cat vs. kitten. I have 2 cats and I'm glad I have them in pairs. They keep each other busy when I am away at work for long hours, they sleep, play and groom with each other. Indoors is a MUST. Great advice from other posters about care and maintenance. If I could add anything it would be to make sure both cats have plenty of fresh water. I usually change their water bowls 2x a day. Best of luck. Here are my 2 boys.

Re: I\'m buying 2 kittens this week
If you live anywhere close to a rural community you should get cats from there. This way you can get healthy kittens for free. Obviously you're doing a good deed by adopting homeless cats, but most of the time you don't get kittens and may end up with monsters that were abused or otherwise mistreated by previous owners. Seriously, farm cats are the bomb-diggity.
