We have decided to adopt an adult cat from the humane society. I don't have much experience with cats, although my hubby LOVES them!
We have a cat now, who is about 5 YO, and was a feral that we rescued, had spayed, etc. She was about 6 wks when we found her in the woods, just after a major hurricane! Anyway, she is very anti-social since she was never socialized with people. Although we know she must love us, she does not let us pet her regularly and has NEVER let us "hold her" or sit on our lap. However, she does like the dogs!
This time I want to make sure we adopt the right personality, which is why I would like an adult. What's the best way to get to know their personality and how should I introduce the new cat to our household?
Although Pebbles is anti-social to people, she is quite resilient and adaptable when new things are introduced. She has never even seen another cat, though, since she was a tiny kitten (except from her crate in the vets office) so I'm not sure how she will react.
I'm excited, but also nervous about choosing the wrong cat. I love Pebs, but I want a cat that will actually be involved in our family life and enjoy being pet, etc. In other words, I want a cat that acts like a dog!
Cat people...please give me some advice!
