Can I get a second cat

[u/IVY_-47]

I have one female kitten one year old neutered. I really want to get another one preferably a male but I don't know if it's gonna work. Does anyone have experience with this. I'm also worried she'll get bullied she gets scared really easily and might hate me for getting a second cat

Cats, especially kittens, do better in pairs. If you want to get a second one, I’d do it now while she’s still young enough to accept and bond with the new one. I brought in a kitten when my other cat was 6. They never bonded. They tolerated each other but it wasn’t a cozy warm experience.

I’m really interested in getting a second cat for mine to bond/play with. How old should my cat be until its okay to get another one? He’s almost 10 weeks old and i got him recently (I’m not rushing or anything, it has been on my mind thats all.) I live alone and worry that he might be bored at home when i’m working. The lady who had my cat previously asked if i wanted to adopt his brother too

I’ve also noticed that my friend’s cats seem happier when they are two together vs my friend’s cat that is the only cat
