We need some advice. We have a 6 month old kitty, Rex, that is basically the perfect cat (except when he jumps on the kitchen counters...Lol). My husband and I live in a small house that is not exactly cat friendly, but Rex has learned to leave most of our "no no's" alone. We work full time and like to travel and hire a pet sitter to check on Rex daily when we travel. Rex is spoiled and has many toys, a cat tower, a climbing post, and many scratchers. We even take Rex outside on walks with a harness and leash and interact with him a lot when we are home. He is very laid back and affectionate. He lives a good life, but many say we should give him a cat sibling so he will be completely fulfilled. We really don't desire to have a second cat, but would do it for Rex and would, of course, love any cat that is a good fit for us. We tried a sweet, playful, busy cat from a foster and she started bullying and attacking Rex. Rex was very intimidated by her and became stressed with her in the house. We followed all of the recommendations, but had to return her as we were scared of a cat injury occurring or damage to our house (in "her" room). Should we try again? Can a single indoor cat be happy without a cat buddy? Thanks for your advice.
