Is this the right place? Sorry, not sure!
I love my cat and while I don't really need two cats, I think he needs a companion. I should say, I think he needs someone to play with and to keep him company when I'm gone. I'm the focus of all of his attention unless he's asleep, and if I go away for the night, I come back and he's stressed out with runny eyes.
I'm not running out to get him a cat friend RIGHT away because my apartment is small, but I may be moving soon. The most important thing is to get him the right friend, so it seemed like a good idea to start thinking about it now. He's about three, SUPER HIGH energy, definitely a alpha, extremely demanding, strong, and has play aggression (which I'm STILL trying to train out of him after almost two years). Very sweet, very loving, but a total pain in the butt. Does anyone have suggestions to help me pick out a good friend for him? Things to look for when meeting another cat? Ideally I'd want a lazy cat that weighs more than him but is also a Beta, because there will be nonstop fights if I get another alpha and I don't want to upset him.
Thanks for any input in advance! Sorry thing is kind of vague but I've never actually gotten to pick a cat myself so this is new territory.
