When it comes to one-cat homes, the question I’m always asked is this: “I’ve got an only cat, I work twelve hours a day, and I know he’s bored. I feel so guilty. . . . Does he need a friend?” There are several components to that statement that we have to look at. I fully believe that cats should live with other cats. Unfortunately, what you see many times on my show are worst-case scenarios of cats who would definitely rather not. But in general, cats are communal animals who have been victimized by the stereotype of being asocial, aloof loners.
