does my cat need a friend?
hi! i have a 3 year old male cat, he is my baby and recently i just moved in with my girlfriend to an apartment where we can have him. he’s been with my parents while i’ve been living alone previously, but i took him back a week ago after moving to my new place.
he’s taken the move very well, he’s very social and friendly. his “issue” is that he will stare at walls and meow LOUDLY, roam at night and meow LOUDLY, go into a different room than us and meow LOUDLY. like repeatedly until someone comes to him. i think he’s bored but he doesn’t really care about solo toys, especially electronic ones. he doesn’t care for wands really either, he loves hair ties and springs but i cannot shoot those across my apartment at 4 am 😭
he did well at my mom’s where he was accompanied by 3 other cats and a dog. he would cry for food but that’s it, even when i lived at home i did not witness him act like how he does here. he was a lot more playful at my mom’s, played with 2 of the cats a lot, chased each other all the time. he’ll play here for 20 minutes, then sleep for hours (which i know is “normal” but not for him i guess!). he’s still super sweet and friendly, but he’s very clingy, like is running to be under our feet or run to where we’re going to lay or sit and then smother you, wayy more than normal. he has cat trees, scratchers, tunnels, toys; i feel like he’s just missing another cat-presence!
i’m wondering if getting another cat would benefit him and his boredom? maybe he’s being a weirdo because of the move? everything else seems completely normal(bathroom behavior is normal, eating and drinking normal)!
thanks!!! :)))
