Hello all,
I have a female cat (Mui Mui), who is 3 year old, spayed... and I would like to get a companion for her.
She has never shown sympathy for another cat though... When we were living in NC, she liked to go out and watch outside through the window.. she usually get upset when another cat approach our balcony.... However, she has experience living with another pet (she grew up with a ferret) and never had problem with that... she didn't like the ferret very much (the ferret stunk, and my cat seems to find him annoying also), but she never hurt it, and would even let him (the ferret) eat from her bowl, use her litter box, etc...
Now she is the only pet again, and seems to be bored most of the time.... I think some companion may do good to her.... I am just wondering what would be the best companion for her... another female cat, male cat? a kitten? .... I remember I read from somewhere that it is easier for adult cats to accept kitten rather than another adult cat... is that right?..... I am afraid she may not like the new cat.. what if they don't get along with each other? ... although Mui Mui is a sweet, and she usually would not bite or scrach unless she is really afraid or annoyed
