Hi guys,
So I have been thinking about getting my cat another friend for a while, and now my bf and I finally reached a point where we think we are ready for another fur baby.
My cat is a 4 years old boy. I adopted him when he was 3 months old from a local shelter. The reason why I want to have another one is because he can has some company when I am not home or even when I am at home. However, my cat is what the shelter called "the shy cat" when I decided to adopt him. I wouldn't say he is shy, but he is definitely the kind of cat needs a longer times to get to know you before he gets any closer. It took him a month to finally goes on to the cat tree I bought him... He is also extremely sensitive to sounds and will freak out whenever it is too loud. But other than that, he is very energetic, loves to play any games. He also follows me all round the house every single second, which I think getting another cat can let him find something to do other than just following me... and he will always be within my sight. He loves attention, and he is also very talkative.
So I am wondering, what would you guys suggest me to do? Should I get another kitty and should I get a boy or girl? Or even a dog (we can only do small or medium size dog)? And if any of you have similar experience in the past, I would love to hear your journey too!
Thanks!
