Thanks!!
Welcome to PT! If you're moving that soon, I would wait until well after you move before getting another cat. Cat introductions can take time and can be stressful. A move would put even more stress on a new kitty relationship. Let Tito get acclimated to his new home before you freak him out with a little sister.

Mishi and Mitzi took a couple of months to be together peacefully. I won't say they're inseparable, but they do have a sweet relationship. If anything, I would say adopting Mishi has made Mitzi come out of her shell. I adopted Mishi for pretty much the same reasons you're looking for another cat. Mitzi just seemed lonely left home every day while I was at work. Each kitty couple is different. I had heard that it's better to have a male/female pair. I had never had a boy cat before, but now I love them! Mishi is the best boybee!
