Hello
We have a 1-1.5 year old cat who came from a rescue ~6 months ago. She was an indoor cat in her previous home and still only goes out to our little garden when we are there as well, but she doesn't got out alone. She's quite clumsy for a cat (her legs are shorter than usual) and we live near a busy road so would've trust her outside.
She is very playful and I don't think we play with her enough, she would just play for hours. We were therefore wondering if we should get her a friend.
We would go through a rescue again, but was wondering if we should look for a calmer older cat who is used to other cats and kids, or another playful young cat? Or is it a bad idea altogether?
Also thinking if we ever go away in the future (obviously not travelling anywhere anytime soon) we could just get someone to feed the cats and they would have each other for company. Our cat hates closed doors so don't think she'd do well in a cattery. She is very sociable and usually spends her time in the same room with us.

Should we get our cat a friend? Similar age or older?
