When you adopt an older cat you know what their personality is going to be like too. Kittens personalties can change over time. My Pearl was the sweetest most loving cat when she was a kitten and she and my oldest cat Storm would cuddle and spend a lot of time together. Unfortunately now she and Storm have a love/hate relationship and she's now become very bossy and some what aggressive to Storm and some of my other cats. She's also become very needy towards me.

I would also suggest that you adopt 2 cats together. Maybe even siblings or 2cats that are already bonded together. This way they have a playmate and won't be as lonely when you're away. Good luck and feel free to ask any more questions here.
