A spin-off from x-ta-Z's post and Sammie's response....
My Josie was raised as an only cat. She's bonded with me and is very attached to me. She's very territorial and doesn't like other people coming into "her space." She's very opinionated and talkative. She's a meticulous groomer and I guess you could say a "prissy princess". I've thought for a long time about getting her a companion. But, I fear it would be hard to find a good match to go with her personality. I think it would be the situation where I'd have to find just the right cat, or behavior between her and a new cat would deteriorate very quickly. Would it be hard to find a match because she was raised and an only cat? If I did, what kinds of characteristics should I look for?
