Hi everyone,
If you look at my previous posts, you will see that I recently adopted an 8yr old grey girl. I was told she was calm and easy which is what I was looking for since I am single and work. Well, that was not exactly true. She is kitten-like in my opinion.
I am considering a friend for her, even though it will stretch my budget. I still do not want a younger cat so I'm looking at males around her age who still have al little spunk left ( just a little!!!)
I've seen one beautiful white boy who is the right age but declawed. I'm apprehensive about adopting a declawed cat since they can have behavioral and health issues due to declawing. I'm in an apartment so litterbox problems could cost me ALOT of money. Also, my girl, Tilly, can bite. We are working on that and lately, I think we're making progress, but I worry about a sibling not being able to defend itself while playing. Obviously, if they dislike each other to the point of fighting, I'd be returning the poor boy, but cats do sometimes play rough.
Any thoughts. Personally, I'd never declaw a cat but many at the shelters are already that way.
Thanks for any opinions,
Kelly, Tillys mom
