Re: Cat Advice

[(Anonymous)]

A few years back I adopted a cat who was 4 at the time, so not old but already an adult. My cousin adopted 2 kittens (brothers) not too long ago. Both really have their advantages.

With an older cat you know what you're getting for the most part, especially if you talk to the volunteers at the shelter a bit. That said, a shelter isn't a home so the cat might be a bit different, and over time as it gets used to it can still change/learn new things. Kittens are always going to be a surprise, but since you're raising them you might have more of a say there. 'Might', obviously.

Two cats can keep each other busy, which is nice if you work long hours for example. When I got my cat, the shelter (not in the US) narrowed my options on which ones I could get because I told them it would be an indoor cat. They insisted cats were social creatures, so either it had to go outdoors, I'd have to get two, or I'd have to get a cat who genuinely liked being on her own. I chose the latter and we get along great, but it's something to keep in mind.

As for the expenses, the day-to-day costs honestly depend on how much you're willing to spend. There are cat food brands for all budgets, same for kitty litter. You can spend enormous amounts on cat furniture and toys, but cardboard boxes and strings work fine too. The only costs that really count are vet bills. And yes, two cats means two bills and you'll need to get them neutered if the shelter hasn't yet. But an elderly cat is more likely to get sick, horrible as it is to say.

In terms of work kittens take a bit more at the start, but that should quiet down after a few weeks/months. They do grow up after all. Then it depends on the cat. I hate changing the litter box, but how often you need to do that depends on the number of cats and if they're indoor or outdoor. Also: fur everywhere. I'm used to having it around and don't mind, because I know it'll only be back anyway. But if I have people coming over it can be an issue.

My main advice would be to talk to the people at the shelter when you got to pick your cat(s). Describe your situation and they can probably help you get started. Hope this helped and good luck!
