How to choose the cat that’s best for you
Choosing a cat is something you’ll always remember. It’s a fun decision, but also an important one. Your new feline friend will be a part of your life for many years to come
Do your research first, and then choose your cat from a reputable breeder, shelter, or rescue group, or if it is a stray, you might want to consider these things:
Kitten or an adult?
Kittens are able to adapt quickly to their surroundings but will need house training and much more attention than an adult cat. An older cat might be a wise choice if you have a strict work schedule and don’t have time to fully care for a kitten. On the other hand, an older cat may have health problems, which will require more visits to the vet.
Shedding concerns.
Some cats shed more than others. For example, an American Bobtail or Cymric cat will shed much more than a Siamese cat.
Health concerns
A healthy kitten or cat will have bright eyes and a shiny fur coat. Cat’s that appear thin or overweight or have a nasal discharge may have health problems.
Personality and disposition
Just like people, cats can vary in their personality and character traits. Look for one that seems to be a good fit for you and your lifestyle. If you’re hoping for lots of petting and stroking, for example, you may want to look for a cat that actively seeks attention from its handlers, rather than one that hisses or scratches.
If you think you’ve found the right cat, try to make more than one visit with the animal if that’s possible.
