I've received great advice recently on what to do with my snowshoe.
Playful, curious, bossy. I was told getting her a cat friend(with detailed rules on what kind of cat) started to really worry me. The reason I got a cat was because I wasn't ready for a dog. I Move about every year and working long hours. Little did I know this breed would require lots of my time, not only that a snowshoe that wasn't exposed to any other animals...so she's not very fond of pets and doesn't like going outside. I've read some articles about "problems" with cats and she really isn't a problem cat...no excessive meowing, no peeing in other places than her litter box, nothing like that. She's very playful, plays fetch and follows me around in the house everywhere. Just the thought of getting another cat overwhelmes me, but leaving her alone saddens me. I don't have anyone to watch her when I go out of town,or play while I'm away. I think about the fact that I will end up having her for 18+ years and that itself gives me anxiety. Yes it was a foolish, irresponsible decision of me to adopt her without knowing much about the breed. The elderly woman I got her from had her since she was a kitten so i didnt have the opportunity to expose her to much when i recieved her at 3 months old. (Shes now 11 months) Right now I'm torn, I'm considering rehoming her, (not taking her to a shelter) for whats best for her for the next 18 years or so. I plan on having a baby within the next year, traveling etc. Will she be able to adjust to a new owner? I don't know much about rehoming animals... I would be giving them all of my cat items (an entire spare bedroom full)lol.
So the question here is since Marley has been with me for almost a year will she be able to adjust to a new owner?
