Re: Cat Advice

Adult cats are a mixed bag. You might get one that has excellent habits and is used to humans and other pets, or you might get one who is distrustful and will never let you pet them, or anything in between. The easiest cat to own, in my opinion, is an adult one from a good family who has already taught them good behavior and socialized them. If you can find a family who is saddened to have to part with their cat, you've got a winner. Otherwise, you might still want to visit shelters in your area. Occasionaly the people who work there will know the pets' history and can they generally like matching pets to new owners.

If you choose to go for kittens instead, I think getting two at once is the way to go. Younger cats require a bit more surveillance as they are more likely to claw at things and you will need to teach them not to. Your boyfriend might be worried about house training them, which is an issue with dogs but not with kitties. Cats are very clean by nature and will already know how to use the litter box once you get them. Even lions and panthers in zoos use litter boxes with little to no training. Just make sure they are not too young to be separated from their mother: three months is usually a good age for kittens to be adopted. The expense will be greater initially as you will have to get them vaccined and neutered. Otherwise I can't really say how much of a financial issue it is, but hopefully once you get your kitties you won't be thinking of them in terms of money anyway.

As an aside, male cats tend to be friendlier than females, who sometimes noticeably prefer the attention of male owners (lol), but that is by no means a strict rule. It is also not worthing getting a pure breed. They are unnecessarily expensive, can be more susceptible to certain health issues and there is no garantee that they will be better suited pets.
