Go easy, please –total cat virgin here!
We've never had a cat before and have found a female one who's about 2 and reserved her, but I just don't know if she's right for our family. I've seen her four times now and she has "raised her paw" to me as if to swipe –I don't know if this is just a playful thing though? She's a bit timid and today one of the volunteers said she can be a bit 'crazy', and that she doesn't know if she wants to be loved or not?!
We've wanted a cat for ages (3 DC age 13 down to 8) but I'm thinking we should wait ... no? I have always wanted one that comes right up to you and wraps him/herself round your legs, sits on laps, is placid etc ... but maybe they are the exception rather than the rule?
Or should we persevere and accept she's likely to be a bit spooked in a rescue centre with dozens of other cats around and would be different at home? HELP!!
