2 boys a good or bad idea?

[Luke Rawlings]

We currently have an F3 male that’s a little over a year old. We want to get an F2 or another F3 but not sure how two males will do together. Is this something I should be concerned about?

That should work out fine. Rascal had his brother join him a year after he arrived. Mayhem occasionally annoyed him a bit, but they did get along.
After Rascal passed, we brought home Rascal's and Mayhem's niece and nephew. R2 (and Arya) think the world of Mayhem. Somebody has to keep the kittens in line, and Mayhem does a fine job. When Mayhem is in the mood, he runs and plays with them.
Ironically, the kittens pester their uncle, just like Mayhem pestered his brother. It's precious to see the big brother worship.

Actually, two males together are probably the best combination (as long as they are both neutered). Females can get attitudes (even when spayed) but they usually get along with the boys fine too, as long as they realize that she is the boss!

Totally off topic - your boy is ADORABLE.

Thanks for the help!

I have 4 male savannahs -- 2 F2s, an F6 and an F1. Most times they get along just fine. The disagreements they have are related more to personality than gender.

Assess your F3s personality and discuss it and the personality of the new kitten with the new kitten's breeder. Regardless of gender, it's best to make sure that one cat isn't overly submissive and the other overly dominant.
