Adopting Adult Cats! GOOD MESSAGE

[lvpets2002]

Yes very well said.. Oh other than my cats being with handicappss they all were adopted as adults.. For sure would rather have the adults..

Who doesn't love a kitten but it's easier to find a home for one than it is for an adult cat. Mine, of course, are all adults now but Coco Puff was the last kitten that I rescued. He was a handful and still is! Give me a calm, grateful adult cat any day.

I have a home business. Kittens' #1 talent is KNOCKING THINGS OVER. 'Nuff said. (Although a close #2 might be Getting Stuck In Inaccessible Places!)

Smudge was 9 when he moved in, discarded for needing medical attention (but, of course, his previous human didn't SAY that). But now that he gets the right food and the right medicines, he's 100% healthy! He just celebrated his 14th birthday, and still loves nothing better than a rousing game of Get The Bug.

Love, Columbine

I adopted both of mine as young adults. Trust me, at 1 year/18 months, they STILL have a lot of kitten playfulness in them! And it's been wonderful.

Our range in age from about 2 years to 14, Bailey was 10, Lenny about 3, Bart about 9-10 Precious about 12, Princess about 3, Egypt 4, Dobe about 4, Lily 5-6 when they came to us all the rest were 1 or less. The age makes no differance to us. But some times the younger ones can get on the olders nerves and the young ones have to get put in thier place.
I have short bio's on each on my site at: www.jsgill.net

Yeah its pretty sad people still think that kittens adapt better to new lifestyle and think adult cats are set in their ways. Which isn't true because my cat was easily scared by strange household sounds and adults. Which after a year or two he learned that those two things weren't that scary. I think older cats do a little bit better than kittens actually, since the world in itself isn't new to them and chances are the were somebody's kitten at one time.
