I have a cat, five year old girl, who I adore. She's very attached to me, we snuggle together every night, etc.
There's a cat nearby whose owner is giving him up due to a move to a place that doesn't allow pets (I really think that's a lame excuse by the way). He's two years old, sounds like he's good-natured, but neither him nor my kitty has lived with another cat before. The current owner giving him up has also asked about visiting him once in a while, which I don't think is really fair to the cat: either keep him or don't...
Anyway, do you think this is a good idea? I don't know if it's fair to my kitty girl to get another cat, but this kitty sounds pretty nice and will be homeless otherwise. I'm feeling really anxious about what to do here. Any advice and/or personal experiences appreciated.
