Thread: Kitten vs. Rehomed Adult

Thanks for all the input and advice - please keep it coming!

I guess one of the most important things for me is that whichever cat I end up with, it chooses me rather than the other way round. I think you're probably right that I'll know the right one when I meet it. If I do rehome an adult I won't make the final decision until I actually meet it (although that will be the same with a kitten).

I know from experience with the rats that often works out the best way (although not always). Of the three rats I've bonded with most closely, one most definitely chose me, one I chose for her colour (as I'd wanted a black dumbo rat for ages when I got her) although we bonded as soon as I got her home, and the other was one of the last two girls in the litter that were the first 'pedigree' rats that I had (so chosen for me, effectively).
