Re: If you had no choice, which of these two cats would you pick from the shelter and why


I'd go for the lighter one, I love the colour. No other reason.

Having worked in rescue for many years, I've noticed that 9 times out of 10, people will choose/prefer an animal that reminds them of one they have formed a bond with in the past.

It could prove kind of annoying when you know they are ALL lovely and ALL need good homes!

I guess that's just human nature Miranda, and at least one kitty goes to a loving home.

You'd hope so. People are funny though. I've heard all sorts -

too big, too small, don't like the shape of the face/ears, wrong colour, tail too short, looks too much like my old pet, doesn't resemble my old pet etc.
