I've been discussing things with the hubby and it looks like we are getting another kitty! My MIL has two cats and she might have to give her female, Isabo away. Well, we know Remus adores her (He spent some time over at the MILs and they got along great) and realistically MIL's male, Draco is better off as an only cat. He tolerates Isabo but it isn't the best relationship in the world (he can get real mean). Also, I worked with Isabo in the adoption center when I worked at PetSmart, and was the one who adopted her to begin with. I really do love that silly girl! Imagine a big grey fluffy Maine Coon thats as bouncy as Remus!
If for some reason MIL decides to keep Isabo, we are looking into getting a female playmate for Remus. From past experences with other cats, we figure he will get along best with either a "mom" type kitty or a kitten a bit younger than him. Im leaning more toward the adult cat option, as I don't want to cause dominance issues later on. Remus has to be top cat unless the other kitty is older (Isabo is about 3 or 4 right now). Remus has demonstrated with Isabo, that he really likes having a momma cat around. (Isabo, although fixed, really radiates the momma cat vibe) I don't know why, anyone have ideas?
Well I have my fingers crossed that I get Isabo, if not its down to the shelter to look for a momma for my boy! :D
