I think it is very important for pets to have other animals in their lives. We have always had at least two cats and at one point, we also had a dog. This is important because we can not always be around or give them the attention they would like. Having a friend around makes it easier on them when the above happens. I also think this reduces the chances of your pet misbehaving because they are less likely to get bored and curious. Rescuing Isis is the best thing I could have done for Pyrrha and Pouncer. Isis and Pyrrha have become best friends and play, sleep, eat; they basically do everything together. Even Pouncer likes having the other two around when she does get in the mood to play, but that is about it! Once in a while Pouncer will allow the other two to nap with her. Obviously you can’t ignore your pet just because another pet is in the house. They still require a lot of attention from you and your family as well. With cats, it really does not require that much more upkeep and time having another cat around. With dogs, it is another story. They require quit a bit more attention so make sure you are up for the challenge before you decide to get another dog. If the dog is young enough, you could get a cat and give them the chance to bond early to enhance the chances of them getting along.
