Definitely better on her own.

Unless they are brought up as a pair and even then, cats largely walk alone.

They are territorial.

My little rescue spent the first month she was allowed in the garden establishing her territory into which not a single cat is allowed. We provide all the food and affection she needs - the garden provides all the hunting she needs.

Her world is complete

I have in the past had 5 cats all at one time . When each one died I didn't have another so When I lost my last beautiful girl I was catless for 3 years. ( I struggled to get over losing her )
I got my beautiful new girl 3 years ago as a kitten . What I'm wondering is, is she lonely being the only cat ? I also have 2 dogs . She's a very affectionate girl and follows me everywhere. Sleeps on my bed at night , follows me to the bathroom during the night. Loves cuddles. She is an indoor cat, a Ragdoll.
Those of you with cats do you think she's better on her own or would she be better off with a kitten to hopefully bond with ? She is very much loved . I don't want to upset the applecart and get another kitten only for her to be upset or jealous. I'd appreciate the thoughts of the members who have had cats for years and are knowledgeable about this subject , what are your thoughts ? Thanks for reading.
