I went with the intention of getting an older kitten, maybe 4-7 months old. I also tend to go for longer haired cats and while color wasn't my main criteria, I always have been partial to orange cats.
So, I go in, and my husband and I are petting cats. Well, here comes this sleek black and white cat. So, I pet him. I then start visiting with other cats. Well, Mr. Sleek follows me around the entire rescue place. Everytime I pet another cat, here he comes and jumps up and bumps up against me.
My husband said, well you should probably get that one, since he has obviously chosen you!
I wanted to be sure so I visited some more and my shadow accompanied me all over. Finally, I decided we had to take him! So, I get my carrier and call him over. He came running over and got right in the carrier by himself!! I've never seen that happen before. None of my other cats hated the carrier but they didn't get in it voluntarily either.
We got home. He checked out the whole house (I did close some rooms off) He is snoozing now like he's lived here all his life!
