Male or female doesn't make that much difference, but SOME adult cas accept a cat/kitten of the oppoiste sex more easily than one of the same sex. But the age makes more difference.. Definitely get a kitten. Your cat is still young and playful, I'm sure, so he'll really appreciate the friend, though there will be hissing, etc.. at first.. within a couple weeks you should see improvment, and after a few more weeks, they'll be playing together (mabye sooner!).. I've done this half a dozen times, and the always end up best friends.. He'll thank you for getting him a friend. all cats should be indoor, as far as I'm concerned.. I won't go int the reasons right now... Oh.. but the more they see each other, the quicker they'll not be "strangers" anymore.. If you kept the new one outside and your indoor cat never interacted with it, they'd always hate each other..

There are so many kitty's out there that are perfectly wonderful potential pets and are need of a loving home. I truly believe in having indoor cats only. They are completely safe inside of your home which is a perfect environment for a cat. I don't think breed or gender is a problem when adopting a second cat. There will be an adjust period after you bring your new baby home and that's absolutely normal. Please think about adopting from the pound or a local shelter.

As for age, you wouldn't want to get and old cat. By that I mean a cat in it's twilight years. Yours is still at a playful, have fun age and the next cat you get you want to be able to play and have fun too. Head back to your local animal shelter. Check out the various natures of the various kittens and young cats they have. Most of them will have write ups about what they like to do and how they get along with other cats. Keep in mind that when you do introduce another cat into the household there will be a period of adjustment where they will walk around and hiss at each other, both will try to establish dominence in the household. Don't be discouraged and decide that they can't get along if they fight and ignore each other for a week or two. They will work it out, cats are generally quite sociable after pecking order has been established.

I'd of course keep it indoors because that is safer. As for the kitten or cat, I think a kitten would be better because a grown cat may intimidate the male cat.
