Hi.
I'd agree that your lone cat would probably like some company. Please consider rescuing a needy kat/kitten from a shelter if you do decide to get a new furbaby. There are sooooooooo many that have been through so much sadness & really deserve & would love a break.
My wish for you is good decisions.
Please tell Pingwee (very cute name!! ) that we say "Hi Pingwee!!"
