Afternoon all,
I would like to get a cat. Open to more than one.
I'm a single parent and work full time, 2 dd (10 and 6). I'm a teacher so normally aim to be home 4-4.30 for my own children.
I'm torn as to which way to go. I have been given details are a litter of tabbies who are now 8 weeks. Are they really hard work and will they need more time and attention than I can realistically give?
Or, 8 month old kittens-a trio of girls who apparently are very close and like a fuss. These are at my local rescue. Would I be naive getting 3?! They are all neutered and vaccinated etc.
Or an older cat? There are a few around 1-3 but they are apparently quite timid. Or some that appear quite a lot older.
I'd like youngish cats but I would really like a cat that wants fussing and is a bit of a homebody.
So, are v young kittens a bad idea (I was thinking 2 but there are three left in the litter). Are three older kittens a better option? Or should I be considering an older young cat (but not sure the right temperament is available as of yet).
I haven't had a cat for about 20 years and even then we didn't get him as a kitten.
Thanks. I've got no one to ask advice on this and I'm going round in circles! I've deliberately not gone to see any in case I fall in love and make a mistake.
