cats

I have a 5 year old cat that I adopted 3 years ago, and I'd like to get him a companion but I'm struggling to identify the characteristics I should look for. Can anyone offer advice?

He's a rugged old soul. He loves playing with my 2 year old dog but otherwise just lounges around nearby but not touching - typical Russian Blue. He does try to clean and cuddle the dog, but the pup doesn't understand and runs away. He was actively cuddling with other cats at the shelter when I adopted him so I think he'll do well with a housemate.

I've met a few shelter cats this week but I'm stressing about identifying which would be a good fit. Are male and female both a good bet? Would it be best to get a kitten, an older cat, or somewhere in between? Playful or extremely lazy, or a lap cat?

I know I'll be happy with any choice, so I'm mostly focused on finding a good match for my Russian Blue. Thanks.

For some reason I was under the impression that I was tethered to my vet when it came to getting my cat's thyroid medicine, but today I just asked them if I could have a copy of the prescription so I could order it online and they gave it to me. Just wondering what's a reliable and affordable site for their medicine.

Been her favorite spot since she was a kitten. For a while I thought she’d outgrow it, nope.

I love waking up to see this girl. Makes every day start off a good one!

My old lady Muki crossed the Rainbow Bridge five years ago today. She lived to the ripe, old age of 20 (or 21 - I wasn’t sure how old she was when I rescued her). I miss my girl SO MUCH.
