I will be one of those urging people to get a "buddy" for
their cat.  We listened to the advice in this newsgroup and
rescued a second kitten.  I cannot emphasize enough how much
fun this has been for our entire family.

Here are the latest pictures:

They play together constantly.  In the pictures it looks like
Forrester, (the tabby), is beating up on Maximus, (the black &
white), however Maximus is almost always the instigator.
They eat out of the same bowl and share the same litter box,
(emptied AT LEAST once a day).  They both use the "tree" or a
little circular cardboard scratching mat and are leaving all of
our furniture alone.  NO fleas.  NO worms.  In fact, the only
two negatives I can come up with is one broken glass knocked
of the kitchen counter and the fact that Forrester insists on
visiting my wife and I at 4 - 5 am purring loudly and nudging
our faces and our hands until he gets some neck scratching
and belly rubs.
