[quote=Anonymous]I love cats, have had them my whole life, all with different personalities. If I were to adopt another cat I would go to a rescue organization and get one a bit older whose personality is established - I like the cuddly, affectionate ones. :) Our current cat is 12 and I love him to bits BUT as sweet as he is, he can nip or scratch when he gets overstimulated. He also went through a period when he was pooping on the rug, he has had some health issues that have been costly, he does shed everywhere and spreads bits of litter here and there after he uses the box. He scratched my kid about 8 years ago and my DH (who is NOT a cat person) gave me an ultimatum - declaw him or bring him to humane society (and who would adopt a cat that occasionally bites and scratches?). We ended up doing laser declaw which is the more humane way to do it but it's definitely costly and I wouldn't do it if a cat weren't scratching. Oh, one more thing - he jumps on me in the middle of the night for food. Doesn't sound very appealing, huh?
And yet, I love him, my kids love him, and we'll take care of him until the end.[/quote]
