Is it bad to get a cat, find the cat a bit of a psycho, and want to get another cat who might be less… intermittently aggressive? Not planning to ditch Cat 1 btw. Fond of Cat 1. But could be fonder. - ThreadSky

Welcome to “we have two doxies and one cat because all I ever wanted was a cat but my partner got a doxie because she thought they were like cats.”

Unfortunately the best technique I've found for modifying feline personalities is to move.

Cat 2 might cause Cat 1 to be less of a psycho! I heard many stories about how easier it is to keep two cats rather than one

Needed to hear this

the solution to cat problems is usually more cats

They will often mellow out some over time. Be patient and give it a lot of love.

Vader is actually much nicer since her sister Kenobi has joined the fold.

So highly recommend getting a second cat if you can.

We got a cat about 6 years ago who was a bit frisky and even tho Cats Protection assured us he was neutered, it took several visits over months to different vets, for a very sensitive test & ultrasound scan to determine he actually had little hidden balls! Quick op and £££ later he's mr cuddles

We have a new cat who seems to have some demonic tendencies (he’s 5 months old) but still adorable, if a pain in the neck sometimes, I hope he calms down a bit, one day….. We do think about getting another cat but I worry our first one would be a bit of a bully.

My void calmed down a lot after his neuter. Now he's still active and playful but not rabid possessed.

That’s good to know, my little void will be neutered in the next few months, 🤞

I'm all for getting more cats (we have 4) but sadly our 4 don't like each other and when not hissing actively ignore each other 🤷 it's a huge gamble but can be worth it... for other people 😭

Get another cat. It might be another psycho but at least they'll do it to each other and not you.

I got a psycho cat and then adopted her brother hoping that would chill her out. For 8 years that cat barely tolerated me unless she wanted something. Got a third cat which is loving and now the first is loving too. I don't get it at all.

We were reminiscing about our sadly departed cat today and my husband said fondly “But he was evil though”. Don’t have any pictures where he doesn’t look furious 😂
