Dumbgambler User ID: 77741880 United States 08/01/2020 02:13 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The best cat I ever had was an orange tabby (male). If you want a good lap cat I would do what the others said...let it come to you. If you want a totally inside cat make sure it wasn’t too feral...they instinctively want to be outside. I have also noticed most Siamese cats are assholes. Rolltideroll |

If you think intelligent equals assholes. I'll pick one of them again. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 77690250 United States 08/01/2020 07:15 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This is true. When I got mine there were probably 5 or 6 running around. I sat down and one immediately came running up purring and wanting to be picked up. I rubbed his belly for a few minutes, he fell asleep and that was it, home we went. Have had him for 7 years and he's really been great. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77440639 I am ready for a new love and have pets now. I really want an affectionate one. Personality is most important. Not sure how I’ll ever decipher that in a kitten. It’s a big deal and lifetime commitment to me.. You will know it when you see it. As others have said, usually Cats will choose you. |

John_the_Baptist_ User ID: 75220565 United States 08/01/2020 08:38 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This is a true statement. I went to a local cat welfare agency to get my cat. Had one in mind that they had featured on their website. Met that cat in person, he hissed and spat at me. Feeling rejected, I headed to the door. All at once, I felt something touch my ankle. I looked down and here was a kitty, reaching out from under a table as if to say "Hey, human, wait a second..." She had the cutest little pink spot on her lower lip, made it look like she was sticking her tongue out at me! Three years later, Romi has become the best cat I've ever been owned by.

Pees and Ques User ID: 78651576 United States 08/01/2020 09:23 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | A kitten has no established learning traits, so pick an elderly cat. They will appreciate you and you will them. Quoting: claircognizant_one I have had my cat 10 years. She showed up in the yard. She is a scaredy cat. It took a long time for her to trust me. We are now traveling together for a job. She has been calm in the car and will barely leave my side in the room. I like older cats better. Why not get one that has been in a shelter a while, or one at a no kill shelter that is being fostered? |

Have fun vacuuming everything everyday and I hope you love that distressed look on your furniture Quoting: Anonymous Coward 75173234 This is true except for the useless part. Well, you have had cats before so you know. All my furniture is covered with fabric that she doesn't like to claw. Then, I have one of those scratchy toys with carpet and rope. A simple one is fine. She gets under the carpet part and claws it to death with her back claws. Loves it, instead of furniture. |

Quoting: FissionSurplus Look for healthy, bright eyes. Clean ears. No runny nose. Active and playful, also curious and not too afraid. I used to go to the 'kitten room' in shelters, sit down, and see who would come to me and not be aggressive or afraid. Trust me on this one. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79192868 The EX brought home a box of kittens one time to find them homes and there was 4 grey tiger stripe cats and one orange one and She was surprised when I picked up the orange kitty and I named Him Charlie. He became a big fatty whom had an enlarged heart but I really loved that fat ass and I really miss Him two years after He died. Pussy Grabber Extraordinaire |
