Lynn , PLESE consider adopting and older Cat from a shelter , as most often they are almost never get homes and end up being euthanized , then being tossed into garbage bags to be creamated . I witnessed this onceas a volunteer and will never forget the sight of all these wonderful cats , all dead because of thoughtless owners. Please give an older cat a chance , they make wonderful pets , as you know what the personality is like and they adapt better to small places and they are so , so GRATEFUL!
