Ms. Willow is an only feline...and I had thought that she hated others of
her ilk, and preferred to torture d*gs for her entertainment.  However, she
is currently sharing a house with a neutered male and Dame, the German
Shepherd.  She is apparently having a good ole feline time.

thoughts that I am pondering...perhaps she is a lonely girl and would like
some companionship and entertainment...should we be adopted by another cat
(neutered male)?  Pros and cons...I think many are familiar with her puking
issues and her dislike of the human child...what do you all think?

If she is all by herself a lot, she may very well like a companion like
herself.  You could try fostering a neutered male (youngish I would think)
and see how they got along?

I had read that, when contemplating a companion for a
resident cat, it's best to get a kitten of the opposite sex
to the resident.  For a younger cat, that may be sound
advice, but an active half-Siamese male kitten for a staid,
elderly female was definitely NOT a good idea.  (Poor
Scherzo - Miu made her final couple of years miserable!)
