We are a young couple that really want to have a pet. We love dogs but they demand a lot of time, so we are thinking about adopting a cat as they are more independent.

I live in a state where everbody seems to have a cat and they look so friendly! I want a cat too!

I want honest opinions from cat owners to know whether my idea is good or not.


Thanks


Ana

Excellent idea - you should definately have a cat. In fact it is a good idea not to just have one cat but to have two! I had one cat before and when we we went away we could usually find people who would either stay in our flat or come in and feed him but i did used to feel that he got a bit lonely when we weren't around. Sadly Jesse died last year and we have since got two kittens - who are now big cats and it is lovely seeing them play together and I never worry about them getting lonely. As we live in a flat we don't have the convenience of cat flaps etc but they get used to going out and coming in again when I call them.


Issues that need sorting are things like who will look after then when you are on holiday, male cats need to be 'done' otherwise they can stink out the place if they are indoor cats ....and I think that is about it.


Go on get one!!! (sorry don't mean to be pushy...just a cat enthusiast)

A friend who is single had a couple of cats all was well until she took up with a lover, which meant more week-ends away and that was a nuisance as she was forever looking for places to take them when she was away.


Why not foster one for a few months and see how things go?

    • Exactly the same thing happened to me a few years back; they were after my Brompton. Luckily there were only 3 of them so I managed to get away and got a woman to call the police, then they backed off, but not after having hit me in the back of the head first. Police said next time just give them what they want, but I sure as hell wasn't just going to hand over my bike to them!
    • In case anyone is renovating or stripping out an old kitchen, I am looking for a base kitchen unit or carcass to house an oven for a temporary set up kitchen.   Also looking for a run of worktop at least 180 cm long if anyone is disposing of something like this, I would be happy to collect.   thanks   Mila
    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
