Cat advice needed!

Trooper, 12M here has been fur pulling. It's nerves, not allergies. Always the same side. Been working with his vet, and are getting close to having to give him anxiety meds.

He pulls when home alone. Walking in the door after being out for the day and we are greeted with fur piles. If he thinks he is home alone he starts this horribly anxious crying.

I am thinking about getting him a friend is better than meds. A friend so he isn't alone when we aren't home.

Anyone have experience in getting an older cat a friend?

Shinjuku really likes sitting inside this oversized plastic bag on top of my suitcase. I put it away when I’m not nearby because it doesn’t seem safe unattended. I wonder what I could get for her that would be safe and she’d like as much. She has a soft cat house that she never uses. Something about the tight fit but maybe also the crinkle that she likes? #CatsOfMastodon #CatAdvice #cats
Have you ever been petting a cat when suddenly they turned around and bit or swatted you? There’s a reason behind that and ways you can avoid it happening - https://www.sparklecat.com/special/when-petting-goes-wrong-understanding-overstimulation-in-cats #cats #CatsOfMastodon #Mastocats #catadvice #catsoffediverse #catlovers
PS- If you have a cat that’s understimulated or has a lot of energy they need to burn off - I highly recommend doing this tunnel system and playing with them while they’re zooming or chilling in it (when you can) otherwise leave it out for them overnight to play in! #cat #catcaretips #catadvice

So...I have a neutered 5 year old male cat weighing 7.20 Kg with a bad temper and I need to introduce him to a spaded 2kg shy turtle-hair lady cat...the gentleman cat is not happy at all and he growls all over the place, even if they're in separate rooms. He used to own the whole house by himself; I take it he's being very territorial.
Any advice so I don't die from the injuries?

We've been home to the new cat - Kit - for exactly a week now.
The instructions were to keep her indoors for 4-6 weeks.

She's pining to go out, but we know it's a very bad idea at the moment.
She's 9 years young so very used to going into gardens.
I think we all might manage another week of this!

I'm trying to train her with a rattly tin of treats to get her to associate the sound with home & nice things.

Any other advice?

My cat Pepper has completely ignored me for the last two days, for no obvious reason. She doesn't seem ill at all, & I'm still fairly new to cats, after years of dogs, so I'm hoping it's not personal & that she's just being a cat. I'm probably overthinking it. Am I overthinking it?
