Our female spayed cat Kenna is almost a year and a half. She's sweet and very playful, and we love her dearly. But sometimes we worry we don't give her all the attention she deserves. Especially since we go away most weekends. We've thought off and on about getting her a playmate.
But here's the thing. When I was young, we had a cat named Cody. Before we eventually got her spayed, she had kittens, and we kept one. A male named Benji. He was a loveable purring machine, but Benji was an obnoxious pain in the ass to his poor docile mother, who basically lived in fear of his frequent attacks.
This continued until Benji unexpectedly dropped dead one day, at the age of 4 or 5. I had passing thoughts that Cody finally murdered him lol, but in spite of the grief, I was happy for her. She was instantly more cheerful, and lived the rest of her life in peace.
The point of this story is that I want to make Kenna happy, not miserable. And the same goes for the other cat. Should we leave well enough alone?
