Thinking about getting another cat (lemmygrad.ml)

I realize that I love my cat.

But I want another one for her.

Should I go for it?

I feel like it will help be a new beginning for me.

I just feel bad about something and guilt eats me up right now. I, well, caused a problem for my own Mom and have hurt our relationship. And I realize that now. We've talked about it some. We're fine, right now, but I... feel the guilt, dammit.

Regardless, I want to at least help my current cat by giving her a new companion.

Ugh, I feel silly saying it.

My first cat hates all other animals in the house, and hisses at anything that moves. She's territorial as shit, but lovely to us.

So. There's that risk.

It might have been our fault for not socialising them right, but it's common for people to have cats that don't like each other in the house, apartment or whatever. But she'd be happier if she was the lone cat in the house, she doesn't leave our bedroom ever.

So maybe get a cat to experiment with cat dynamics at the house, but be prepared for it to not necessarily work on first try.

Fair enough.
