Getting used to the cat

Now when are you getting her a buddy? Two cats are ten times the fun of
one cat. Betty needs a buddy and you need more entertainment. Get
another master.

I'd forgotten about the second cat thing - it definitely needs to get
on my to-do list. It sounds like a risky move. If I end up with two
cats that despise each other, then neither will be happy. Also,
sometimes I think that Betty is lonely, but I'm not sure if I'm
projecting, and if she is lonely, I'm not sure if she's lonely for
another cat. It's a complex problem.

If you adopt a second cat from the shelter and explain your reservations,
I'm sure they will agree to take the second cat back if you can't get
the two to get along. (And be friends - since that's the point.) But
sometimes it takes a little while. And there are techniques to help the
process along. Also you can make some choices about the second cat that
would give them better odds of getting along (although it's really a
crapshoot - you can never tell!). You can ask the shelter about those
things - and I'm sure folks here would have lots of suggestions, too.

Also, sometimes I think that Betty is lonely, but I'm not sure if I'm
projecting, and if she is lonely, I'm not sure if she's lonely for
another cat.

Only one way to find out!

I knew I was missing something by not having a cat, but it was the
people here who pushed me to do something about it.

Hey, Tak, I know of six cute little kitties rescued from a barn and learning
how to enjoy snuggles and tummy rubs....
