Cat or Kitten

Cat or Kitten?
Very few people can resist the temptation of owing a kitten. Many are in the mistaken belief that since kittens are cute, playful and cuddly, they’re “babies.” Indeed they are. But it should also be kept in mind that by the time a kitten is ready to stay with your family, he can jump walk, run, and climb. In just a few months, they are past the initial cute, cuddly stage and metamorphoses into a full-grown cat. http://blogs.grab.com/msary50/830588

When you have decided that you are ready to shoulder the responsibility of a cat, you can find some varieties of cat at pet stores or get your cat from a breeder or adopt an abandoned cat from your local humane society. When choosing a cat, it is worth considering what kind will be most appropriate for your home. http://www.indoblogger.com/msary50/31120

If you are going for pedigree cat, a wide range of pedigree breeds is available. According to one estimate, there are more than hundred different recognized breeds and color types of pedigree domestic cat.

The greatest benefit of purchasing a pedigree kitten or cat is that the owner knows what he's getting. For instance, there is every possibility that a well-bred Siamese will be vocal, naughty and extremely demanding of your attention. Apart from this, buying a pedigree gives the indication of the adult size of your kitten.

Also known as moggies, mixed breeds cats come from a completely non-pedigree background. These types of cats are often generally healthier than pedigree cats. If you are already the proud owner of at least one cat, then bringing a kitten to your home will be a good proposition to avoid friction with the existing one. A kitten can stay more harmoniously than an adult.

Male or Female?
It does not make any such great difference to buy a male or female cat. If they are neutered, you can choose any of the two. As a matter of fact there are slight behavioral differences between them. http://catillness.today.com/2009/05/13/12

After deciding the breed, it is advisable to visit the kittens for some time to know their personality traits. An owner has to consider a lot of factors before deciding which kitten to take home. Prominent among them are personality, activity level and tolerance. What is most important is how the kittens fit in with your lifestyle.

It is better to choose outgoing kittens, though not too aggressive, than the timid ones. The timid kittens take long time to change.
