@Kamaji ALL warm-blooded critters need another of their species to live with in order retain their sanity/sense of well being.
It is a sin and a shame bordering on a crime to just have one dog or one cat. Have a pair,and they will not only live longer,they will be healtier and a LOT more sane and easy to deal with.
Not to mention have a co-conspirator for the upcoming revolution.
