You love your cat. You don't want it to be lonely. You find another cat that is just waiting to be loved, wouldn't he make a great playmate for your existing pet. Well maybe.
Cats are not social animals, they are quite independent. While they may get on with other cats they do not form packs or need the social framework of a pack, unlike dogs.
Assuming for one reason or another you want to introduce a new cat into your family and that you want the two cats to get along, here are some things that will help the process.

Cat fight: When Your Cats Don't Get Along
Try to ensure the newly introduced cat is actually a kitten. You current cat will not find this such a threat to its authority.
It is better if the two cats are not the same sex, opposite sexed cats get along better with each other than same sex cats.
Neuter the cats, neutered cats are less aggressive.
Introduce the cats to each other gradually and in a quiet and peaceful part of the house. Extra petting might help reassure the cats.
