Are 2 kittens better than one?
Hi Everyone!
Me and my boyfriend have a 8 month old boy kitten who is very playful, laid back and very affectionate. We work during the day and when we are leaving he meows at the door. I feel so bad. I am wondering if he is lonely and if so, should we get him a playmate?

Animals are as social as we humans are. Infact, 2 is better than one. It is also so much fun to watch the interaction.
They will bond in time. There is a proper way however to ensure that they bond appropriately. It is not a question of getting another and sticking him/her with the other and expecting things to be perfect from the get go. The introduction is gradual, however very effective.

Male cats under 18 months of age tend to be very social. Getting another kitty perhaps a bit younger than your current cat would be a great gift to your current kitty.

Yes, 2 is better than 1. Some cats do not like other cats, but that's usually older cats that have just never been around other cats. I would suggest adopting another kitten, probably a boy one, from your local humane society or shelter. Make sure both are neutered as well so they don't try to dominate each other as the mature.
I always recommend people adopt more than one kitten or young cat together. They do so much better!
