My beloved Siamese is 15 years old and he LOVES companionship, at least mine. He's reasonably healthy, has some joint issues, probably isn't interested in playing with a kitten much, but I think he would love to cuddle and groom one. He grew up with another cat and adored him but he passed 5 or so years ago. Now he's transferred all that affection to me and just wants to be cuddled all the time, and he loves to groom me with his tongue.
So, I was thinking of getting a kitten, but realize that a kitten would probably torment him with too much energy but two kittens might entertain each other, but he could interact with them (perhaps) when they're ready for snuggles and sleep.
I'm going to be going back to work soon and I know my poor old feller is going to be lonely.
So, what do you think? Should I attempt to find some companionship for this old guy or let him have peaceful golden years without any young'uns to disturb him?
