Should we get a second cat?

+1 vote
We have a 10 month old neutered male. We were thinking about getting another cat to keep him company. We Leave him alone 9 hours a day whole we're at work and thought it would be nice if he had a friend. Is this a good idea?

Introduce him to other cats first and see if he likes them, if he does then go ahead and get another one!

I agree that another cat should be introduced to the present cat. But it's a great idea to get another one. Cats are social creatures and although they sleep up to 18 hours a day,  having a playmate works well for them. It encourages socialization and gives them needed exercise. And you're rewarded with double the fun and the love.
