Adopting an older cat, have you?

Hello,

I’m in the process of adopting a 10 or 11 year old female cat; through the Cat Protection Society.

We’ve given it much thought, but I’m just so excited to be finally getting a cat that I might be missing something. Also a few conversations I’ve had with a couple of friends has worried me a little.

The cat’s profile is perfect, likes fuss and lap cuddles, likes to play and be centre of attention. We have no other pets, a large enclosed back garden and my 3 Ds s’ are very sensible, caring and animal lovers.

However, what am I missing? A friend has said an older cat will be harder to insure and might not be around for years to come. But then that could happen with any cat? My children all agree it’ll be lovely to give an older, unwanted cat a loving home. What do you think? Any experiences/advice greatly appreciated. TIA
