Default Need kitty advice

Hi Everybody,
.


We have a cat, Rocky, a male cat we adopted about 2 1/2 years ago from the local shelter. He's very social and follows us around like a puppy. He gets very lonely when we're gone for any length of time since he's so close to us.

He also seems to be sort of territorial. If a cat comes to the window (especially a male) he acts like he wants to kill it.
.
If a female is out there he's not quite as aggressive but seems to be somewhat accepting but still on guard.

Well, my sister rescues cats all the time and she offered to give me this adorable little female cat they named Roxie. She's a semi-longhair tortie like a cat we had before Rocky. She's very sweet and has had a hard life.

She's 14 months old and has had two litters of kittens already. She has offered to get her fixed and checked out at the vets close to her (much cheaper than the ones in our area.)

Does this sound like a situation where we could get Rocky to accept a female cat? I think it might keep him company and she's very loving as well. I know of the problems of having two cats, other than the increased vet expenses, etc...

Please give me your opinions.
