Ds2 has always been scared of cats, but last week we met a relative's shorthaired exotic cat (shorthaired version of a Persian) and not only wasn't he scared, he said he'd like us to have one. (For extra info, he used to be scared of dogs but his dad got a dog and he's much better with that breed of dog now)
This type of cat is naturally quiet, friendly and doesn't tend to hunt or pounce etc
We're not going to get one straight away, we're thinking sometime after Easter.
But as I've never had a cat, I don't know what we need to know. Is it a good idea to get the same breed? And is there anything I need to know about caring for a shorthaired exotic cat?
And is it better to get a kitten or an older cat?
