On the one hand: Two cats are better than one! 😻 On the other hand: Every time I did that in the past, the cats hated each other. I still had two cat friends instead of one. But that’s just my experience, I know of a lot of cases, where this worked out fine. Just make sure to check with your landlord first and that you are able to deal with the possible cat drama.

Just adding to „It will take a while“. It would be faster if you‘d been fit before because the body remembers. But you should feel strength improvements and you should feel better quite soon. And clothes might be less tight. But visible results take longer. And after a while you’ll hit a tableau and you’ll have to power through that without giving up. It will be best if you don’t focus on looks too much but rather on feeling good and fit. Kudos for starting this path!

I immediately remember these and have enjoyed them very much:

• The Monk and Robot series by Becky Chambers
• Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells
