We have been considering adopting a cat for quite a while now. After a few weeks of discussing it we decided to visit the local rspca today with the dc (dd4 and ds1)
We had a chat with a staff member there who seemed really lovely and knowledgable about which cat would be right for our young family.
There was a two year old tom who was adorable, apparently overlooked because he was just plain black.
His bio said how attention seeking and affectionate he is, loving to play and be fussed all the time.
The meet with him was good, but when dh put him back in the pod he turned round and 'bit' him. He then did this to the staff member. It looked like a play bite, didn't break the skin etc. The staff member said he was probably frustrated at going back in and doesn't like you to stop fussing him.
We passed our home visit tonight and we are due to pick him up at 11am tomorrow.
Dh is worried that if he does this again it might scare the dc, especially the little one. The lady doing the home visit mentioned he'd batted her hand away when he'd had enough too.
I think it sounds like pretty normal cat behaviour but may have fallen for him a bit so could have rose tinted glasses on 
All the staff mentioned how friendly he was and he was marked down as suitable for children of all ages so I'm happy to trust them in this.
What do you all think?
