Adult Cats are Fun Too - Adopt An Older Cat
That finally made the decision to adopt a cat, you've long dreamed of. Seeing her new kitten playing around the earth and looking with those big blue eyes. What could go wrong, after all is only a kitten. But it's thoughts on how much time, effort and trouble a kitten really is. A kitten is full of energy and curiosity and attention-seeking, scratching the furniture, bite and urinate all over the world until it is formed and the trash will run into the house to reach all kinds of scrapes and problems. And you take care of them 24 / 7. If you have the time and dedication to care for a kitten, very well, but if not, why not consider adopting an adult Cat.A lot of potential adopters seem to think of an adult cat as second best as if they were defective or worn like a second hand car. This is not just the case. Most adult cats have been found in animal shelters for no fault of theirs. They may have lived to their owners, the owners can move somewhere that does not allow pets, or you lose someone in the family may have become allergic to them. The reasons are too numerous to list them all. Cats are perfectly healthy animals, bristling with fun and energy and simply looking for a loving care home.Adopting an adult cat has many advantages. I remember that an adult cat has already developed its personality. So you know what kind of pet will be and whether or not suit your family. Many people go for the kitten, only to find that grow from a shy and not very playful cat who likes to spend so much time away from family. This is fine if that's what he wants, but many people decide that this is not for them and return the cat to the shelter. Denial is a very harsh punishment for a cat just because you have no time to think about what kind of cat is the right company for your cat is too big family.An less demanding of their time to a kitten and require less supervision, long after the first few weeks anyway. They will be able to spend time alone when you're away from home, without going into too much trouble and I hope that already litter trained.There many benefits to owners of large adopting an adult cat. Adult cats are much calmer and more likely to want to spend time in silence, sitting on your lap for strokes and purring. Studies have shown that cats can have a real benefit to human health in reducing their stress levels and blood pressure. I can not image energetic curious kitten being good for your stress level somehow.Many concern about health problems and vet bills for older cats. Normally, when you adopt a cat from an animal shelter that can tell if the cat has medical conditions and stressing what is likely to cost. Many also offer free medical care for your cat if more than 10 years as an incentive for more of the older cats to be re homed.Cats can live well into their teens and twenty, with all the advances in nutrients and medical care. So the cat of 12 years of waiting for shelter animals a good home is still a good bet and still be able to provide many years of fun and love. Only our cat is now 14 years old and still behaves like a playful child and keeps us entertained for hours.It can be a very rewarding experience to adopt an adult cat, not just for the pleasure it gives her the years, but also in the knowledge that has taken a house of love for what was probably very frightened and confused cat, who had no idea why he lost his family.
