Not sure what to post this under for most replys but here is the scoop.
My wife and I want to get a cat or kitten. We only want one and no more. We want to know what the best age would be to get one that will adapt to our lifestyles.And would it be best to get one of the poor kitties at the shelters in our area. My wife works 5 days per week and is gone about 10 hrs a day. I work 2 rotating days per week but I am gone fore 24 hrs on those 2 days. We had a young cat who my mom raised but I took her back because she missed her brother cat so bad that she would not sleep at night and kept everyone up with her loud crying. Even though she was adjusting to her new home well and would play and eat well, the constant crying at night told us she was miserable alone. I just thought that since she was only 6 months old the separation wouldnt have been this big of a deal or i would have took her sooner.But thats live and learn, she is happy back with her brother.
