Basil might be a bit lonely, especially if neither of you are at home during the day. However, that doesn't mean he wants another cat for a friend. He just wants you at home more often.
Ours are a mother-daughter pair and don't always get along. On fact both of them seem more friendly with the neighbours cats than each other. Play in the house often escalates to fighting.
If you do it, definitely a kitten. It'll learn behaviour from Basil a lot quicker than another cat.

So we're thinking of getting a little buddy for Basil, our 2 year Bengal cross (the twin of @c0gsucker 's Opie, by the looks of things). GF is pretty keen on a Tonkinese, my only worry is how Basil will take to it. What are people's experiences around bringing 2nd cats into homes? Basil is very friendly and is castrated, but just to be sure..
