A buddy for Roland???

[RolandsMom]

Hello everyone. Im back for a bit.
I think I finally have my bf convinced that Roland needs a friend cause we will be away a few weekends over the summer and I dont want Roland to be lonely. Honestly I used some underhanded tactics. I told him that I would be miserable over weekends away thinking of poor Roland by himself, even if it is only for one night. hehe. He finally realized that its worth his while to give in.
Now some advice please. Roland is 2.5 years old and I was wondering if we should get a kitty around his own age or younger, and if younger, how much younger? He as been on his own for 6 months now and seems to be more a cat now that a brat. I dont think I want a very young kitten.

Im super excited and a little aprehensive at the same time. I know they say that if you have one, you may as well have two, but we dont have a huge apartment, yikes. tell me its a super idea!!!!
