Ooh, exciting Bursary! Adult cat or kitten?
I have 2 feline beings. MCat and Little Monsieur. My little Devon Rex came to live with me just under a year ago. Very different in looks to a Ragdoll, but has a similar trusting and friendly nature.
He's the happiest, sweetest natured little being I've ever met. He likes to climb legs, so he can ride around on shoulders.
The only downside I can think of is crapping in my lavender, therefore killing it. (Lavender, not the cats) Oh, and when living rurally, waking up to the odd partridge running about, that MCat somehow brought in through the cat-flap. Oh, and checking shoes for mice before putting feet in them. Aaannd, the lower portions of baby rabbits, festooned about the place, Jack The Ripper style. Brains obviously tastier than legs. He always ate the heads. But, on the bright side, he grew out of it, and rarely commits acts of murder anymore.
Ah, just remembered. Worse thing about owning a cat is when they stay out after their curfew. Terrifying. You need to get your feline friend addicted to Dreamies at a young age. If you rattle the packet and they don't come running, that's when the worry begins.
