I plan on adopting a 2nd kitty eventually. I don't think it will be anytime soon, mostly b/c I don't really have room for a 2nd litterbox where I currently live.
My cat is about 1 year old and is a female. She is calm, non-skittish, non-playful, and basically sleeps all day. Then again, I've only had her a month so I don't know if that is her 'true' personality yet or if it's her adjusting still.
What age/gender/personality cat should I look for? Another less-playful cat? How long should I wait before bringing a new cat home? I don't know if Matilda came from a single-cat household but I'm guessing that she did b/c she wasn't brought to the shelter with any other cat.
Also, Matilda is declawed (her previous owner's doing, she was like that when I adopted her from the shelter). I won't declaw a cat, but will it be a problem having one declawed and one not? I would be using Soft Paws so actually that probably wouldn't be an issue huh?
Cats are addicting. *le sigh*
