When people think of adopting a cat, they often run towards the kittens. Those cute cuddly balls of fluff are irresistible, I know, but have you ever given thought to adopting an adult cat, or two adult cats?

There are pros and cons to both situations of course.

Kittens: Pros include youth, cuteness factors, and trainability amongst others. But kittens are also rambunctious, can be destructive and have high levels of energy they need to expend. Adult cats are set in their ways for the most part, and acclimating them into a household (particularly one with resident cats) can take time and patience. But adopting an adult cat can be an ideal situation for anyone without the time, space or energy for kittens. And if you adopt two adult cats, particularly those that are familiar with one another, you pretty much just brought into your home a ready made feline family!
