Update: I submitted my application just now to adopt and i spent quite a while today talking to the owner of the cat rescue. I just took this picture now (I’ve been visiting him for two months)
@Jenny1234 yes and I believe you have found the one... I like how he's full white but ears and tail are coloured..:) I've read he's only got one eye too, which makes him interesting.. and also nice of you to accept and apply for him like that!:)) I'm excited along with you really!
Yup, my cat at first didn't like to be brushed then, as time went on he realized that it was for his own good and spent less time licking himself. Not to mention all the hair around the furniture and house.
No worries I already have 7 dogs here, a cat would be a nightmare.
No actually, things would become very orderly around your place because the cat would be in charge of everything, not the dogs. You know it and I know it!
I hope you carefully introduce your guinea pig to it overtime, and don't trust it just because it is well behaved for a hour. Instinct is to kill for most cats.
You'll find that the shorter a cat's hair is, the more hyper the cat is all the time. The length of a cat's hair is a good litmus test for the kind of temperament you can expect from a cat. Even though a longer haired cat may shed, a shorter haired cat sheds just as much hair but it's less noticeable around the house. What IS noticeable however, is the often unsettling behavior exhibited by a short haired cat, compared to a more docile long haired cat.
@SandWitch This is only true as they mature. My long hair was a super hellion her 1st year and 1/2. She has however super mellow in her mature years. I have a short hair ginger tabby that is half her age, 6, that remains exactly as you describe but she is also the most loving of my 3 critters.
@Gibbon Yes, that is correct about a cat's maturity. When they're all young, they're like teenagers and are totally unpredictable regardless of the length of their hair!
