Should I get a 2nd cat? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I own a condo and have one dog and one cat. They get along and play all the time, but I feel like the cat is often lonely and missing a cuddling companion. He's a rescue who was a street cat for years before I adopted him. I've been considering fostering or adopting another cat to give him company. Thoughts?

When I adopted him he was actively cuddling with other shelter cats. He always tries to get my dog to lick and cuddle him but the dog doesn't reciprocate. I feel like he'd attach quickly to another cat.

Awe ok, that is pretty convincing.
