Another excellent suggestion!
I'll take it a step further. Plan on spending lots of extra time with BOTH cats when you bring home a new one. Double the amount of time you used to spend with your resident cat after bringing home the newbie. This will help reassure the new cat that s/he's still loved and will not be neglected; plus it will help your cat associate something positive (increased attention from you) with the arrival of your new kitty.
