    If I was looking for another cat I'd spend a lot of time at the local shelters and look for a cat who wants to adopt me!

    G535 has the RIGHT idea!!! There are TOO MANY wonderful cats languishing at shelters!!! Their lives are on the time line, and too many are put to death. Find a shelter in your area and visit!!! You may even fine a purebred that someone ditched! A cat rescued from the shelter will be grateful for the rest of their life to you for saving them!!! I know, we have had shelter cats snd they are the BEST!!!
    Nine is Fine!!

    Like I said, that should have been my first idea. All of our other pets have been adopted (including Soni who was 1.5 lbs when we picked him up off the streets) but I guess I was just looking to expand my options.

    From my experience I have found that many of the adult cats in shelters tend to have alot of the little growing pains already taken care of. As for my favorite type of cat to bring into a home that is loving is a Male Orange Tabbies I can't tell you how many people I have talked to that say the same exact things about the orange tabby kitties. My orange guy is a BIG mommas boy just an absolute sweet heart. People in general tell me that they often want to take my orange guy home with them. I can't express enough how many orange cats that I have run into that are down right the sweetest cats that I have ever been around. Hope I was of help. Definitely check out your local humane society there will be plenty of kitties that need homes. When I went up to pick up my latest foster kitty I only fell TOTALLY in love with like 3 of them. So your decision won't be to hard

    Heh, I am such a sucker for animals it is not even funny. I had one orange tabby, who was picked up off of the streets, named Oliver for obvious reasons. He was a big sweetheart. He got run over a couple of years ago, though after having lived with my aunt. =(

    Another suggestion would be to look on the purebred rescue sites. Go into Yahoo and type whatever purebred you would like followed by "Rescue". It'll give you a whole lot of options.

    You can also go into petfinder.com and type in the breed, your zip code and "National" search. That'll give you any and all purebred you want to look at in your area.

    Good luck!
