Ok even though the pic was VERY large he looks like a cutiepie.
I have found that yes...sometimes introducing a new cat can change the personality of the original cat. Sometimes when you have an "only" cat the bond between you and the cat can become much stronger. If there are problems when introducing a new cat the original can become more aggressive and standoffish. But this is not always the case. Sometimes they end up loving a playmate and still retain the wonderful bond you started with. But remember this also. Cats are normally solitary animals. They are not like dogs that prefer a pack situation. Some cats don't want other cats around no way no how. So just because he is home alone all day doesn't mean he is bored and lonely. Besides...they say that cats sleep approx 18 hours out of each 24 hour period. So he is probably just sleeping the day away in a sunny, warm, soft spot.
Good luck in what you decide. But I would at least wait until you move...then get the new kitten on the day of the move even....before Tito gets a chance to establish the house as "his" territory. This may make the move easier. And keep Tito in just one or two rooms at first anyway....the primary rooms you will spend time in...a move is easier on a cat if they don't have to deal with toooo much change all at once....is any of this making sense?
