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?

It depends.

We tried adopting a second cat and she hated him so much that we had to re-home him.

So just make sure wherever you are will let you re-home them if needed.

Great advice. I heard that female cats tend to struggle with new roommates more than male cats, but that may be an old wives' tale.
