I do have another cat, Holly. It's funny, when I adopted them (they were in same cage at Petsmart), I thought they would eat together, sleep together, play together, keep each other company, but they lead two entirely separate lives. They used to wrestle around for a minute or two in their younger days and occasionally, Holly would smack Martini on the top of her head as she walked by but they basically ignore each other now. It's like having two only cats.
