Cat Chat Feline Forum

I have a siamese neutered male. He is a dominant type.
I want to get a second cat, so he would have company when I'm not at home.
I was thinking about getting a british shorthair or a chartreux. Which breed is better/ more compatible with siamese?

Are you sure he would welcome company? Does he enjoy meeting other cats outside? Many cats prefer to keep their territories to themselves...

Oh, it's a really tough question, because when I had the same cat like you, she hated other cats. When my friends came over my place with their cats, she was so jealous and aggressive towards them, so I had to close her in a separate room. You need to understand the behavior of your cat towards others, and then decide whether it's a good idea to get another cat.
