A girl who lived next door to me rescued a cat which she called George. George had been attacked by another cat and was seriously hurt. The girl was a nurse and she needed her skills to get him through.
George was a lovely cat ....... but ........ he wanted her to play with him all the time. Before she went to work in the morning her routine had to include George sitting on a piece of cardboard while she pulled it round, like a sleigh, the house. She would have to play hide and seek with him before she left the house. And George had a very loud voice and was very vocal.
I suggested she get another cat to keep George company but also said that the cat that was meant for her would show up. Not long after I got an email in work from someone who had rescued a litter of feral kittens. We went round to see them. There was one female who was not doing as well as her two big brothers as they were stronger and so got more food. She had not much fur and was quite wild. Obviously that was the one she chose. Just getting the kitten was a challenge and the next day, with the kitten safely in the bathroom so she could introduce her slowly to George, my friend was in the clinic getting a tetanus shot to combat the bites and scratches she had suffered.
That weekend I went to visit and noticed that George was unusually quiet. Then I saw the kitten which walked up to George and George gave her a big lick. George and Megs lived happily ever after, my friend was able to get some rest as George was now occupied, and all of them now live in Australia.
So getting two kitties can solve many problems.
