Getting a cat

[revots33]

Question about getting another cat:

I have one senior cat who is almost 15. He is great but very set in his ways and used to his routines. I've been thinking of getting another so he'd have company while I'm at work, but I worry that my old cat will react badly to a new cat in his house all of a sudden. Anyone have any experience with this? Like I said my cat's kinda old so I don't want to stress him too much, but then I wonder if he might actually like the company of another cat.

Your cat will hate the new cat at first, but after a couple of months will get used to him. Your cat is really old, so I wouldn't recommend getting another one as it will be pretty traumatic to the new cat to have the older one dies.
