@Truereview - Where do you find these?

I just did a search for "men and cats" and I've been linking to these bc they are quite beautiful - apparently they are from a series. One series is with models and the other with male celebrities. I've talked with my local animal shelter about running a calendar with pairings of our local celebrities and dogs/cats to do some fundraising for the inevitable wave of surrendered pets that come around the holidays. Could be fun!

6. In many cases, older cats that were raised in homes that had multiple pets, particularly other cats, will feel sad and depressed at the loss of companionship. If your home already includes an older cat, or even a young adult cat, it’s a good time to consider adopting an older cat because it’s more likely to adapt well to the situation.

 

I adopted a 4-year old female cat from a shelter in June. She enjoys being the only pet in the house because of all the attention. So you just never know with cats.:)

@Truereview I can tell she's known other cats because of the play biting. It is fun for her, but not for me the first couple of time. Truly a sweet cat though.

I hear you. I tried taking a photo with my cat that looks like the one below. Needless to say, my sweet Gato, grabbed on to my chain and showed me who was the boss :p

Kittens Need Adult Cats Around

It is Kitty Angels policy that kittens should be placed into a home with at least one adult cat in residence. This is necessary for the kitten to learn the feline "social graces". Kittens who grow up without adult companions often have behavioral problems that cause trouble for the humans in their lives.

Kittens Need Playmates

In general, we want kittens to be adopted with at least one other kitten, so that they can have a playmate with the same level of energy. We may allow a single adoption if there is another young cat already in the home, but this is very much dependent on our opinion of the personality of the kitten in question. We generally find that a single-adopted kitten wears out the humans (and the house), and may develop behavioral problems as well.

Kittens Need Patience

This above all... Many families adopt kittens "because they're so cute", but kittens are just like babies, except that their claws are sharper! Expect kittens to get into everything, to destroy at least one thing you cherish, and to sometimes make you wonder why you ever adopted a kitten in the first place! You'll need lots of patience, love, understanding, love, tolerance, love, and, yes, love for all of you to survive until the kitten grows up to be, yes, a "teenager" (an adolescent cat, starting at about 6 months.)

One of my favorite cat stories from LoveMeow.com

It all began when Eric Hanst and his fellow sailors were Navy deployed overseas. When they were in port for a few days, they were greeted by an unexpected guest. "A cat came aboard via mooring line. We lost track of her, and found her later that evening. We managed to get her back to the pier, and waved goodbye as we took off. This cat seemed unusually upset by this," said Hanst.

 

What they did not know was that the cat didn't just come alone. "It turns out, when she managed to sneak on board, she also managed to smuggle on three kittens. We thought she had given birth on the ship, but it was pointed out to us that they were too big to be oinly a few days old."

 

When they were sailing off, no one on board was aware of the kittens. The little ones were very confused, looking for their mom for almost four days until they were discovered in the machine shop. "We found one initially and the other two a couple hours afterwards," Hanst added.

 

Even though the crew had little experience bottle feeding a kitten, they all jumped into action, doing everything they could to help these little creatures. They did not have a bottle, so they improvised. They found boxes and necessary things to make a temporary nest for the kittens. They were all so proud, holding their new furry buddies and letting them climb all over them. When it comes to bottle feeding the kittens, these sailors showed remarkable love and care to the tiny little creatures that were about the size of their palm. They were gentle to the kittens and tended to their every whim.

 

"After the initial shock of being found, and feeding, the kittens were just as happy and playful as any other cute little bugger you'd find anywhere else. They were a great boost to crew morale, and I LOVED THEM," said Hanst.

 

After they docked, the kittens were transported to local veterinary services. "We managed to find homes for all three kittens. I talked a friend into adopting one of the kittens, the other two were taken in by my a 'cat couple' who are regular rescuers."

 

The soldiers rescued the kittens and the kittens gave them the companionship and love they needed during these long voyages. They both needed one another and it was a blessing that they found each other.
