Is my cat okay alone for long hours, or should I get another?

Question

I adopted a 5 year old female persian two months back. She also has a sister of the same age as her. The caretaker told me it is okay to adopt her alone as they do not play together. However, i will be working in a few months time which mean she will be alone at home for many hours. Will she be okay alone or should I adopt her sister too? Pet's info: Cat | Persian | Female | spayed | 4 years and 9 months old | 6.5 lbs

It is perfectly find to have one cat even if you are going to be gone for hours. Many cats are single animal households. If you want to get another cat you can try to make sure they still get along but they may not even interact with each other while you are gone.
