We are a young couple that really want to have a pet. We love dogs but they demand a lot of time, so we are thinking about adopting a cat as they are more independent.

I live in a state where everbody seems to have a cat and they look so friendly! I want a cat too!

I want honest opinions from cat owners to know whether my idea is good or not.


Thanks


Ana

Excellent idea - you should definately have a cat. In fact it is a good idea not to just have one cat but to have two! I had one cat before and when we we went away we could usually find people who would either stay in our flat or come in and feed him but i did used to feel that he got a bit lonely when we weren't around. Sadly Jesse died last year and we have since got two kittens - who are now big cats and it is lovely seeing them play together and I never worry about them getting lonely. As we live in a flat we don't have the convenience of cat flaps etc but they get used to going out and coming in again when I call them.


Issues that need sorting are things like who will look after then when you are on holiday, male cats need to be 'done' otherwise they can stink out the place if they are indoor cats ....and I think that is about it.


Go on get one!!! (sorry don't mean to be pushy...just a cat enthusiast)

A friend who is single had a couple of cats all was well until she took up with a lover, which meant more week-ends away and that was a nuisance as she was forever looking for places to take them when she was away.


Why not foster one for a few months and see how things go?

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.     
    • That’s very insulting! You are basically calling 17 million people that voted to leave the EU ‘thick’.        Brexit happened Sue.  Boring graphs!  Calling Nigel Farage a plastic patriot is also very insulting seeing as he and the Reform Party have had a landslide victory all over England.
    • These charity collectors are often classed as chuggers.  It can be scandalous that the charity/admin may keep a huge percentage of your donations and a tiny percentage is  actually given to the charity.   I can not speak for individual collectors - but it common practice.
