Should I get a 2nd cat? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I own a condo and have one dog and one cat. They get along and play all the time, but I feel like the cat is often lonely and missing a cuddling companion. He's a rescue who was a street cat for years before I adopted him. I've been considering fostering or adopting another cat to give him company. Thoughts?

If you have the space and the means I would heartily recommend getting your cat a cat. Pets do get lonely and if he was used to a colony then there's a good chance this would improve his life. Bonus points if you can get your hands on one of the cats he was loving on at the shelter!
