Thread: Help needed. Don't know if I should get My Maine Coon a kitty companion!

My darling Leo is 2 years old. He is a laid-back guy, and we adopted him at 1.2 years. He was in a home with a cat that he didnt get along with. Im not sure why, if it was due to activity or age difference or what, however his previous owners decided to find a new home because the other, older cat would not come out of the one bedroom. Since we adopted him, Leo has been an only cat. He is playful, but has grown more and more lazy. I dont know if he is just bored... or what, i try to play with him, and he plays for a few minutes then gets bored or something and lays down. Im not sure if this is just his personality, but he used to seem to have more energy. Im at a loss, ive bought him every toy I thought he might enjoy playing with me with, but he doesnt seem interested in them. I want him to have a happy fulfilling life, im just worried hes bored with us and his surroundings! I am wondering if he wouldnt like another cat around to play with. I know he didnt get along with the previous cat he lived with, but the circumstances are unknown as to why. I was wondering if anyone on here has an Only cat that they got a playmate for? how did you approach it? .....any ways of knowing if my cat likes other cats? should I get a female since he is an alpha male?
Thanks everyone
