I think my cat is bored. Do I need another cat?

15. I always say

getting another pet to solve a pet problem is a huge gamble. The biting is likely a result of him being declawed, as that is a common "side-effect." If the shelter suggested him being an only cat, I'd certainly talk with them about their reasoning.

How old is he? He might outgrow the roughhousing phase.

I like the idea of fostering. At least that will give you an idea of how he would get along with another one.

As far as the gender issue, as long as they're both neutered, it shouldn't really matter. Females can be pretty dang alpha-cat too.

Let us know what you decide!
