41. Get her a buddy!

There will be times when she will be left alone at home for many hours at end.

If you quickly get another kitty, they will easily adjust to each other and be company for each other
when the humans are out for the day.
Perhaps another female?

The sooner you get cat #2, the easier the adjustment will be.

Animals need companionship, just like people.

If you get another kitty now, they will be companions for each other for most of their lives.

IMO, this makes a HUGE difference in the quality of life, for HER.

And it is truly a blast (and funny as hell) having 2 cats.

I have 2 cats, a male and a female. They aren't super smoochey/lovey-dovey with each other,
but get along with each other just fine, and are good companions,
and often hang out in the same room, or near each other when outside in my enclosed back yard.
Occasionally, I have seen them sleeping right next to each other on the couch (in winter, when the heat is down at night).

2 cats are not really much more work/hassle than 1 cat.

And you will feel better about being away and leaving them alone for the day, or more than 1 day.

I also, when out until late, or for more than 1 day, leave a radio or tv on, softly but audibly, with a sports-talk station on it, and the (again, NOT loud), continuous sound of a human voice
in the background is comforting to them, I have read, and I believe it is true.

Just my 2 cents.

Enjoy your pretty kitty!
