Was going to say this. Get the cat a cat and either: 1) all your problems will be solved or 2) the first one will teach the new one all his tricks and then you’ll have two cats chewing on things. But either way you have two cats to love! (In my personal, completely anecdotal experience, cats do SO much better when they have friends)

This sounds counter intuitive but works. Had a really bad cat that I rescued. Got a second even worse cat and now they are both almost angels.

Just remember… when people call you crazy for having too many cats, toxoplasmosis makes your brain what to care for more. So you are not crazy cat lady/man, it’s the parasites in your brain (and they are right). Cats are awesome.
