To get another cat or not to her another cat…that is the question

[beaverbill]

Hello!
I am owned by a very much adored long haired tabby. His life is that of an indoor cat who is worshiped by his people. He will be 2 at the end of August and we’ve had him since he was 8 weeks old.
I’ve worried on and off that he might be lonely, we work and my children are at school during the day. Though I have discovered he mainly sleeps during this time obviously.
I enquired to a local cat rescue centre about taking on a kitten for him. We passed the home test yesterday so are free to apply for a kitten.
Should we? I have heard both sides.
A) it will ruin Mog’s life. He’ll hate it and never settle. Will feel threatened etc.
B) get it! They’ll be great together. Of course he’s lonely!
My daughter is torn…she would hate to stress our beloved Mog out. If they don’t get on we’d have to give the kitten back..that would be horrid.
Genuinely…what should we do?

OP remember that most cats like to sleep about 16-18 hours in every 24. That's 8-9 hours when you're out, similar over night, and the rest for being adored, played with and worshipped

Wouldn't get another.

I've two litter mates and the female cat more or less hates her brother now. She'd be very happy on her own.
