I'm thinking about adopting a kitten, but I currently live at home and my parents have a 7 year old cat and I've been thinking the kitten might get used to having a playmate and once I move out (within the next few months) it might cause him to feel lonely no longer having a friend. So should I adopt 2 kittens? I'm not sure how my roommates would feel about me having 2 cats but I don't want the kitty to feel lonely when I'm at work.
Also, I don't have any preferred breed but aren't orange tabby cats the most social?
The rule of the thumb is not getting any pets until you have your own place and also stable income. What do you want to hear besides that?

Why's that? I'm so unbelievably lonely and a pet would fill that void.
he'll live. the kitten, that is. adult cats who suddenly have to share when they're used to living alone tend to go apeshit.
cats are good at finding """"friends"""" around the neighborhood anyway.

Because your parents may not want the cat, because the senior cat may become extremely stressed by the new cat, because you may find you have to move to a no pet apartment or have to live with someone who can't or won't accommodate, because you might have to pay more than you planned for an apartment with pets or put a down payment, because you need money aside for a total of 4 mandatory vaccinations and a neuter/spay sx, because God forbid something happened and you needed to go to the vet or worse, the emergency vet
