Hello every and anyone.
I'm really new to this so forgive me if I've entered in the wrong area.
I'm in the market for buying a cat. I have to consider my tastes as well as my sons.
I've been looking through library books on cats (pure breds) to try and get an idea of what kind of cat will suit my family.
I will not be breeding cats, so I don't think I want to spend my money on a pure bred. So if I list what I think my son and I want in a cat, will someone out there be able to provide me with a selection of suitable cats????
There will be only the one cat in our family, so it has to be a people cat as well as (a loner??). I don't want a long haired cat, for obvious reasons, but my son doesn't want a sort haired cat. My son would like a cat with stripes or spots, likes to play alot, doesn't mind being walked on a leash (will be an indoor cat), affectionate, intelligent, not too independent because my son doesn't want a cat that will not need him.
Not sure what else I should be looking for. Is there anyone out there who can help me???
Thank you.
Scarlet
