Howie is an "only". At times I regret not adopting another one of his litter mates at the same time (they were all very affectionate), but I knew that my family wasn't wanting more than one.
Now that he is settled in and accustomed to our house, I doubt we will get another. Cats are very territorial, and while I think he would have enjoyed having a litter mate with him if they had been introduced at the same time, now I think it would be overly stressful. Besides, he seems pretty entertained with us! :-D
For quite a long time we had two (not always the same two, but two nevertheless) Cats introduced later in life can learn to appreciate each other....ours always did. It wasn't always smooth sailing though! The elder kitty never appreciated the idea of a sibling for quite a while!!
