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?

    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him 
    • It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?
    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
