We're going to adopt a pair of cats from the SPCA. One pair is close to 8 years old. The brother is a gray striped & weighs 18 lbs! The sister is a smaller orange tabby and she came right up to me and sat on my lap!
The other pair are orange tabbies that look like my Garfield (who died a month ago). They're brothers and are 2 1/2. They're very shy, with one a little more out-going. They were asleep in the same hut - curled around each other. I don't know how they'll adjust to our home, which is very quiet.
Either pair of cats would stay in a spare bedroom for now, and then be confined to that room at night. (my 90 year-old mother lives with us and I can't risk her falling over them at night, if she has to get up.)
hehe - I guess I want someone to tell me which pair to adopt! The older ones are more self-assured. The younger ones will take quite a bit of patience to make them trust me and to make them comfortable. The SPCA wants the younger pair adopted together, since they're inseparable. I know I want two. The older pair could be split up, as they're not that attached, just comfortable with each other. Anyone have any words of wisdom?
