What Cat Should I Take?

By cuckold_couple_ August 17, 2020 16 answers Last updated August 17, 2020

I recently decided to get a cat, but I can't decide which breed is more suitable for me. I want a cat that is not very active, does not require much attention and is independent, because I am a busy person and do not have much free time, but I have a great desire to take a cat and I even tend to take a break, while still small. I liked several breeds, but I don't know which one is best for me. The breeds are: Scottish Fold, American Shorthair and Exotic Shorthair. So far, I like the American one the most, but I don't know if it's prone to aggression and if it's not too active. I will be happy to share your opinion if you are familiar with these breeds.

   Cats always require attention. "Not to be very active, not to require much attention and to be independent." In this case, I recommend a plush toy. Or a fish in an aquarium. Every animal requires attention, be it a cat. If you don't give them the time they need, they'll start pissing on your clothes and shoes (if it's male) and tearing things off your desk, shelves, and so on.

   There is no such thing as a cat that does not require attention. However, you will have to clean up after her (toilet, hair everywhere), feed her, give her time to pet and play, deworm her, take her to the vet when necessary. Cats are not for beauty in the home, but for company. From personal experience, I say that if you don't deal with them long enough, they start trying to get your attention in all sorts of ways, like peeing on things that smell like you, on the corners ... scratching the furniture. Cats need love and attention, and I think it's a little selfish to want to get a cat, since you'll only pay attention to it when you feel like it. However, if you take it, I hope we don't see it in the "I'm giving a kitten" ads

   Dear God, why don't you take a street one? This will save a life. I have noticed that for purebred cats there will always be those who want to, and you do not want street cats ...

   I have 5 street cats superb. Why don't you take such a breed? And they are free, people give kittens as gifts on the Internet. They neither require attention nor are active. Only when they are small do they turn white. Otherwise, these cats are very affectionate, give and are good.

   I hadn't even read it and immediately thought of the Scottish Clapper. She is very sweet, lazy, but I can't say that she is independent.

   Cats are not chosen by breed, but by the animal itself. Save a kitten from the street, get one from a village or find a gift.

   I didn't mean to say that I take her for beauty, don't get me wrong. I just don't have much time, I go to work, but I feel lonely and I want to have company. I will pay attention to her, of course, but I want a cat that can stand alone for a few hours without turning the house upside down. I have had stray cats, but for a short time. I also thought about the option to take a street one, but I think that a thoroughbred is better, because that way I will come across one that I like, and all the street ones are different, some are kind and affectionate, while others can be terrible. company. - From the author.

   Cats are not selected by breed. Even if you read, let's say that the Persians are very lazy, if you take one, it can turn out to be very wild and playful. What I'm trying to say is that every cat has a character. They are like people. Some are lazy, some are playful, some are mean. I'm not saying that there is not a drop of truth in the general characteristics of the character of a certain breed of cat, but you should know that the kitten has its own character. You will do very well if you adopt a kitten. Yes, it will not be purebred, but it will still make you happy and you will love it, and whatever you like, it will be. :)

   I love cats very much. At home I have an ordinary one, donated by a website. He is very independent, he is self-sufficient. He doesn't like to be happy and kiss him, he doesn't like to cuddle, otherwise he is not mean and does not bite. I enjoy running and playing the most. Lots of everything - furniture, carpets. But since I am very lonely, I choose the lesser evil and resign myself. I also love a street kitten, which I have been feeding and playing with for three years. Although street life is very difficult, hard and risky, I do not want my favorite kitten to be taken by a person who will not love and enjoy it. To expect a living being to stand as a thing in the interior is just ridiculous! Don't take an animal, you don't love them, you don't need that!

   The cat needs attention - it must be given time to play, to entertain her, to pet her. It is not enough just to be fed and with a maintained toilet - she is like a person - with character and needs. There is a forum for cats, read there and decide if this activity is for you. One of the main conditions to get a cat is to love these animals very much. Otherwise, one of the calmest breeds is the Maine Coon. But all cats are different and only when you take your kitten and live with him it becomes clear what kind of character he is.

   Aha, a cat that can clean itself, pour food on its own, have fun on its own, catch its own bus to the vet. That I can't find such a man, you're looking for a cat.

   For the breed I recommend Russian blue - they are smart, do not move too much, the coat does not require almost any combing and does not meow much. But you can also get a purebred - these always have tons of colors and may not meow too much. But there really is no cat that does not require attention - in general, there is no home. a pet other than fish that does not require one. You need to take time for the cat, clean her toilet, get her a cat litter, a bed, a toy, a flea spray and find at least one scratcher to strip your furniture minimally. And when it comes to internal parasites that can be caught, for example, from the carpet, the detergents that can be poisoned, the cables that cats like to play with ... and some home. plants that can be eaten are poisonous (ivy, poinsettia, philodendron, caladium, bay tree). You should not have such flowers in you and you should take catnip. By adding vaccinations, castration and the vet in general, your finances will decrease significantly for the first month. If you live in a small apartment you need to calculate your options - after all, the toilet should be in a secluded place where the smell will not be felt. If you keep the Easter egg until the winter, the bills for it will supplement those for the heating. You need to decide how much to deal with the cat according to how many days a week (or month, God forbid) you have free. In general, having a cat is a complicated thing - responsibility, in other words. You really have to decide if you will be ready to take care of an animal, the place where you live and yourself at once. But if you can handle all this you can get a cat, as long as you can take care of her :) By adding vaccinations, castration and the vet in general, your finances will decrease significantly for the first month.

   Yes, I don't like animals. I don't want anyone else to tell me what I like and what I don't, don't tell me to get a kitten from the street. I wanted a kitten of these particular breeds and I wanted someone to tell me if there are any, you don't know me to judge me and say I don't like animals, so you better not write a comment if there is nothing to do with the topic to say. I think most people don't think at all, because I wrote very clearly that I am at work, I work eight hours a day, when I get home I will have enough time for my cat. If I have decided that I want a thoroughbred, then it will be so. I did not write here to read your vicious comments, but because I want advice on which breed is most suitable and how they are bred.

   Turtle - not a breed but a color, but they are the smartest and most independent cats. You can drool them, but they do not require much attention.
