Hi everyone, I want to make an honest post describing my current situation to get some advice. I'll be talking about my feelings, so please understand how much I'm considering Caine's feelings here too.
I don't want another cat, at least not right now. If I could have it my way, Caine would be perfectly happy and live forever with me and be the only cat I own. However, I've been really busy lately, and he's spent a lot of time at home alone. It doesn't feel fair to him.
I could get another cat. It would be risky financially because you never know what could come up with vet bills, and I'm in the lower end of society economically. I think getting another cat would be the best way to make Caine happy, provided he actually likes the other cat, which seems like random chance and I'm not sure how to ensure that anyways.
It wouldn't be for me. I would solely be taking an animal into my life to make the current pet I have happy. I don't usually make such long-term decisions that go strictly against my preferences. I would only be happier if it would make Caine happier, and there's nothing in it for me.
Have you had to make a similar decision? What did you do? Do you regret it? Thank you for your time.
