My cat is antisocial. Should I get another cat? Age and gender?

Question

I've been debating if to adopt another cat or not. My cat, Luna, isn't much to show affection, she does cuddle my legs, but I just think she is still growing love, hehe. She gets bored of toys easily and a bit antisocial but she isn't aggressive at all with any human whatsoever, so I know deep inside she is sweet. I would like an opinion if i should adopt another cat or not. If so what age should the second cat be? Boy or girl?

Cats often do better in pairs! The age depends on your cat. If Luna tends to be more reserved, I would probably get a younger cat so that her dominance isn't threatened. But likewise if you find a cat that is similar in age or older and is friendly with other cats, it may not matter. Likewise, boy or girl doesn't matter. It depends on the cat's personality. The most important thing is how they are introduced.
