Hi,
Me and my partner went to meet 2 cats today and can't decide which one we should adopt - they both were really lovely cats and both seemed really healthy.
Cat number 1 came when called, was confident, purred as soon as he was picked up (which he enjoyed), absolutely loved being made a fuss of but would lose interest in us a bit after a couple of minutes and wander off - he would come back to us straight away when called though. He was just over 1 year old.
-------------------------
Cat Number 2 was a bit wary of us at first but after 5 minutes came and sat in between my partners legs without being called, of his own accord, he laid down there and enjoyed being made a fuss of rolling onto his back. When my partner got up and moved about 2 minutes later cat number 2 followed and laid between his legs again and wanted to stay there. He did not like being picked up very much though - he squirmed a bit and wanted to be put down. He was 8 months old.
I know ultimately we have to make the decision but just wondering if anybody out there is some sort of cat behavioural guru in case we are missing anything with the cats behavior - as we really can't decide and we want to choose right!!! We really like them both but only can have one. They are being sold from the same person due to change in circumstances.
