My roommate is moving and taking her cat with her. Our cats get along really well and it will be very sad for both of them. I've thought about getting Nepheline a friend but I don't think I'll be able to afford it. Nepheline has had a lot of health problems and I've gone in debt paying for all the vet bills. She seems to be fine now
I just got her spayed and bought health insurance. I could afford to feed both cats but am fearful of the financial and emotional strain of possibly getting another sick cat. Nepheline is 6 months old and is full of energy and loves to run around the apartment at top speed. So a friend would be great for her. If I do get a friend should I get a cat that is younger? The cat that is leaving (Salsa) is 2 years old. Both cats came home at the same time from the Humane Society. Thanks for any advice.
