The stereotype that you need to take into the house only a small kitten is a thing of the past. People began to understand that taking an adult cat into the house is no worse. This choice has two important positive aspects: firstly, it is pleasant for the animal itself, and secondly, there are fewer surprises for the owner in his temperament.
Veterinarians believe that the cat reaches full development by the age of 3, it has fully formed social and physical properties. And also by this time, the temperament has been built in the animal and habits have been developed that remain with it until the end of its life.
Cat or kitten?
This question is different for each case. Someone is completely sure that you need to take only a small one, while someone, on the contrary, talks about the positive aspects of an adult animal. Everyone makes a choice, the main thing is that it be realized.
If the future owner has a lot of free time, the choice can be made towards a small kitten. At the same time, the main thing to remember is that the baby requires a lot of attention, care, and time.
People who are rarely at home, due to work or frequent business trips, should carefully weigh the pros and cons before getting a pet. In this case, for a friend and family member, it is recommended to choose an already formed animal.
A cat from the street or a shelter?
Without a doubt, both options deserve love for them. If a person decides to take a mature cat into his house, which he feeds for several weeks on the street, this does not mean that the pet wants the same. There are several cases in which this should not be done:
The animal does not accept human affection, responding to it with a hiss.
Small children or other animals live in the house.
Veterinarians do not recommend taking into the house a cat that shows aggression.
As for shelter animals, you should take a closer look at them, and ask workers about their behavior. This is done in order to get to know the pet and make a decision on which its future life will depend.
