Help with my girl
Me and my wife adopted a Siberian girl from a nearby cattery, where she was retired as a breeder at the age of two. She used to be bullied by the other cats there and that was the only reason why the breeder put her up for adoption, as she is such a lovely girl. We had her for about a year and a half now (she is both mine and my wife's first cat ever), and she is a very well behaved, loving girl. The thing is, she sleeps a lot and won't play very much. She loves our small, enclosed patio (she spends hours there every day just looking at birds and the trees), but we tried different toys, cat tree, catnip, anything to get her more stimulation but nothing seems to work. She is very anxious to go to the front of the house, even more any other activities other than the patio. Should we get another cat to make her company? I work from home so she doesn't stay alone for very long... Any ideas of what I should do?
Edit: wow, so many answers and helpful advice, thank you so much!! Another thing I forgot to mention: she very rarely meows. It will only happen when she really wants something (usually snacks) or when she is already on the patio and we go there with her.
