I posted awhile ago about thinking about getting a second cat, and I did! Her name is Oak now. She was back at the breeder because her first family was moving out of the country and couldn’t take her. So she is a Siberian, but I also avoid paying full price by getting an adult.
She’s been here for almost 2 months, and I’ve been surprised at how well she’s gotten along with Aesh. I did do an intro period where Oak stayed in the 2nd bedroom/office, and I gave them treats and things near the door. But it only took about a week to get them used to each other. They’re not super friendly with each other, but they will share a cat tree or sit near(ish) to each other on the bed or couch occasionally.
I’m really glad I got a second cat!
