I have been thinking about getting a new "companian" for my Buffy, as she is getting along a bit in years, and since I have always wanted a black cat, I have decided to adopt "Tess" (link below). When I met her, she immediately jumped up into my lap and started purring, and so I was hooked:
"Tess looks a bit sleepy in her picture but she is all in favor of some fun with toys! She is just a year old and we are happy that her new home is just around the corner"

wouldn't subject her to it. When I adopted her household (her owner
died) I was told by the caretaker who was adopting out the cats she was
bullied by another cat (Frankie), a Tonkinese male. I was told he
wouldn't let her get near the food or any toys.
Poor Buffy was hiding on a chair under the dining room table. She
didn't realize it was a glass top table. Hey, I can see you! :) The
other cat had to be locked away in another room. We managed to coax her
into the carrier with a bit of wet food in a bowl. Zipped it up! I'm
taking you to a new home. :) She didn't utter a peep on the drive home.
I let her out in the bedroom and showed her where the litter box and
food and water is. Then I left her alone. Let her get used to her own
surroundings. She promptly hid under the bed. After about 30 minutes I
looked, she wasn't under the bed. She'd come out and discovered the
chairs under MY dining room table. LOL Mine isn't a glass-top table and
it is covered with a table cloth. So she was hidden by the drape of the
table cloth. But I thought to look under there.
I tapped my fingers and she came down. Hi Buffy! This is your new
home. :) She started exploring a bit. Soon realized there was not
another cat around. And there are cat toys!
Buffy will always be an only cat.

real jerks. My first two dog period was interesting. We had a Bouvier
des Flandres and my wife bought me a Lab puppy. The Lab pup adored the
Bouvier, but she hated him. She was never aggressive toward him and
tended to avoid him. Later on we had a Shepherd/Bouvier and then
adopted a Groendahl. The got along great, though the newcomer was the
boss. Later on, after the mutt died, we got our current Malinois, and
the two Belgiums always got along well. A year ago we adopted a mini
Golden Doodle. He bosses the old Malinois around and can be pretty
nasty to him.
It's a good thing we didn't have the two of them when the Malinois was
in his prime. He was a powerful guy and would have ripped the little guy
apart.

I'm not in the market for a "companion" for Buffy. At any rate, Buffy
wouldn't be happy with another cat.

I was wondering. Yes, Buffy is an only cat, like my Daisy-chan.

We will get another rescue dog but not just now. We need one to
balance a blind dog and a cat. Hard to find just the right one in that
case.
Sad grin, has to fit the existing house so a couch potato sort is just
right.
