Will a second cat help my energetic cat stop meowing for play?

Question

My cat Sasha is very rambunctious and constantly want someone to play with her. Even in the middle of the night she will go from room to room with a toy in her mouth meowing, trying to get someone to play. Do you think getting another cat for a playmate will help with this problem. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 1 year and 9 months old | 9 lbs

It certainly may help! Just like people, some cats are more social than others. If you decide to get her a playmate, try to find a cat with a similiar, playful temperament and about her same age (that way the energy level is matched). Ideally get a cat who is coming from a living arrangement with other cats so that it is already use to living with other felines. Expect that there may be some hissing or unease for the first couple weeks. It’s very normal for this behavior in the beginning and does not mean they won’t like each other. I hope this is helpful and please feel free to post any additional questions!
