is getting a second cat actually less work or is that propaganda

I keep hearing they entertain each other. I also keep hearing I will own four litter boxes and lose my mind. Looking for honest reviews from the battlefield.

It is less emotional labor if they like each other and more physical labor no matter what.

My second cat made the first cat happier. My cleaning schedule worse. Net positive.

Entertain each other: yes. Also wake each other up, teach crimes, unionize. Also yes.

If you hate scooping, do not listen to anyone telling you it is magically the same amount.
