[quote=Anonymous]You’re doing a great thing, OP! I’d suggest that you really don’t need to go the pure-bred route to get a specific temperament; cats aren’t like dogs that way. Contact a good rescue and describe what you’re looking for; they will match your family with a cat or kitten who fits your needs. We had a great match experience with Nova SPCA, but there are many others. Especially if you’re in DC, your cat is going to need to be 100% indoor; way too many dangers outside, and no rescue or breeder will let you take home a cat if you plan to let it wander. Get a whole bunch of the cheap cardboard scratchers. Have them throughout the house to redirect kitty when it eyes the furniture. Bribe with treats and the learning will be fast! Also buy a brush and make it a point to brush kitty once a day. Kitty will love it and you’ll minimize the hair in your house. [/quote]
