Hello everyone,
we adopted/rescued a young cat back at the start of the summer, she is now 1 and a half years old and since we adopted her, she has now come fully out of her shell. She is very friendly, loving and very very playful, to the point where she wants to play all the time.
We would now like to introduce a second cat, to keep her company and to play with her. However, what we are struggling on, is whether to adopt a kitten or a cat that is between 18months and 2yrs old
My thinking is that Luna (our resident cat) would not only be able to establish that she is alpha over a kitten, but that a kitten would probably better match her energy levels and that maybe a cat that is slightly older than her might try to mother her.
Or, because they are of a similar age Luna and the slightly older would be best friends!
Any advice would help thank you in advance
