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?
If your cat is younger I think your cat would be OK with it, but if your cat is older, in my experience older cats don’t like new cats around.
My cat is of questionable age. The vet says 4 ish but his personality is very much “old man”. He gives zero fucks and feels more like a roommate than a pet. He plays with my Shiba all the time and the dog always lets him “win”. Otherwise he just chills up on his tower and blesses me with affection for 30 min a day right before bed. I feel bad because he loved the fellow cats in the shelter when I adopted him and I feel that he would be gentle and patient with a new cat. I think that fostering would be ideal, because worst case scenario I can keep the foster in my home office and best case scenario my cat would get a new companion.
