Cats usually enjoy company on their own terms and prefer to be 'the only cat', so you'll need to introduce them carefully to new pets. New breeds must apply and complete certain requirements before they may participate in TICA sanctioned cat shows. A kitten is likely to require more energy and attention than an older cat, and long-haired cats need more grooming than short-haired felines. If you have other pets in your home, think carefully about whether they are likely to get on with a new cat. Teaching children basic cat care as well as how to treat them carefully is a great idea and encourages a sense of responsibility too. But you’ll need to bear in mind a cat’s previous experiences and personality as well as ultimately what you are looking for in a pet.<\/p>\n
