This is a question I was going to ask: should I really get a second cat? I'm wondering if Chiba gets lonely when I'm gone at work.

A second cat can be tricky. Some cats are very territorial and will not get along well with a second cat. If you want more than one, it's best to get two kittens about the same age at the same time. They will usually be friends for life. If you are going to bring in a second cat, one of the opposite gender of your first cat usually works better. Of course, if you are going to have a male and a female cat in the same house, spaying and neutering is essential, if you don't want to have 150 cats after about two years.
