I recently lost one of my girls (much too soon before her time) but still have her mother. How can I be sure she would be okay with a new cat? Her personality has changed since her daughter passed. She seems to have become more affectionate, spending more time in my lap, sleeping against my side every night, being more talkative (although still with a quiet voice). I don't know how to read this. Is she being more possessive of me now that she doesn't have to compete for me, or is she missing her daughter? I would be okay with having just one cat, she's all I need to fill my life. But I tend to think that most cats would be happier and less lonely with a feline companion. Another source of doubt is I don't know if she would accept another cat. She spent her first few years in a home with a number of cats, then all the years since then with just her daughter and me, so she should be theoretically able to adapt to another cat. But her play with her own daughter occasionally degenerated into noisy furballs.
