Medusa:

That thread made me LOL! I think my dog would be a professional Food Test Taster. She's always right by my side when I'm eating.

Kirsten:

Your cats sound really cool! I wouldnt mind a laid back cat, I'd just prefer a playful one.

And this month my the local ASPCA is letting people adopt cats over 3 for free, no adoption fee. I saw it on the news this morning and my mom was there. She said she wouldn't mind an older kitty.

That would be wonderful! Too often people don't give older cats a chance because they're set on having a cute little kitten. We older gals and guys need love, too.

Me and my mom was discussing this before I was off to school. She said she likes kittens, but she would like an older cat too. We both agreed that they get skipped over too much, because people want cute, cuddly kittens. I told her that I want an older cat too, easier to manage, but still fun and playful. Just as cuddly as kittens too!

Actually, the best thing about adoptin an adult cat is that you know its personality. All kittens are cute and cuddly, but will they stay that way? Or will they be loners?

So if you're looking for a playful cat who will come to you like a dog, adopting a mature cat will be the best way to be sure you've found a cat like that. Foster moms always know their cats personalities and will make recommendations as to whether that cat will be the one you're looking for.

I used to be a dog person before I meet my cats. I still like dogs very much but kitties are my favorite now, definitely

Before I know cats, I was like you, I thought they were agressive and scraching people for no reason (I was a kid then) and I had some examples from strays that come to see you for food and go back in nature.
I was completely wrong of course.

Adopting adult kitties has another advantage: you can better choose (although the cat will choose you too

) based on the character. Young kitties can change while growing.
