You could be wrong... older animals knows the pain and hardship of being dumped, unwanted and to fend for themselves out there. You can be sure that they are appreciative of the 2nd or 3rd chance they are given.
Not only will they love you, they will worship you!!
The advantage of an older animal is in you dun have go thru teething problems (literally) with them. The temperament that you see is the same as you will get.
Unlike a young animal who will grow up and turn into whatever "surprise" that you may get. :think:
Hope you will consider an older cat. :angel:
