Two Is Better Than One
Although cats look like they can get by on their own, they are loving and social animals. They act better when they have other pets that keep them company. Lonely cats are prone to stress, so get your cat a friend they can play with in your absence.
A busy cat is not likely to be destructive. Therefore, getting company for your cat will also prevent them from destroying your items. Consider getting a kitten when adopting a new friend for your matured cat. This way, the adult cat will train the kitten.
