I'd be fine with sub-adults again. And my mom has a kitty with six toes...TOO cute!

I agree that it would probably be best for us to choose a young adult (or sub-adult) cat...so we can have a decent chance of knowing how well it would tolerate changes to its environment. Of course, the "kitten appeal" is very strong...but then again, so is the puppy appeal...and the snake appeal....and the tortiose appeal.... LOL But kitten-hood is a temporary phase...its the CAT that you fall in love with and live with for years and years.

~sigh~ This all started out with me seriously just sort of wondering how to reconcile kitty claws with new leather furniture. Who knew it would turn into such an in depth discussion and leave me feeling so lonely for my old kitties?
