The fact they'll up sticks and leave is kind of what I like about them - you know they're there because they really like it and not out of some loyalty instinct that makes them stick around even if you treat them like shite.
We got two (one from Foal Farm - I would recommend them highly) and then a neighbours cat decided our place was more to his liking and 'adopted' us. Absolutely agree with Exiled - it's their independence which makes them appealing so that when they want a cuddle you can feel it is special. Leave small bowls of water in different places as they like to vary their drinking places.
Alex, the shelter would simply be for emergencies. I looked online for stories about catflap fitters in double glazing, and there was one person in particular who was constantly complained about as a cowboy...don't know if it was the Dartford person.
I think a rescue cat is a good idea...it's Mrs Plum that wants a good looking one.

too true about them choosing their owners. i remember when my my ex decided i was surplus to requirements. i always used to feed her ans pet her, but ex didnt like her much. i didnt want to take her with me as she was an outdoor cat and i was moving to a place with no outside area. i left the cat behind and she adopted the neighbours as a new owner. she just stopped coming home, wish i'd thought of that years earlier, lol. my new partner has a cat, cost us £800 to bring him from sweden, VIP (very important puss) or what! he's great company, always purring and sleeps whenever we do and as were both shift workers, thats quite a lot.

I'm shipping my three to Canada next year - the Missus said either they come or she doesn't. Unbelivebaly my employer has agreed to pay for it as part of my relocation package!
I have always had cats and 9 years ago got a young mum and son from Cats Protection League - Loulou and Percy. Prepare for a lifetime of happiness and always taking second place in your own home. But do not get a cat unless it can safely go outside when they like and you can take proper care of them

If Cats could talk, they would lie to you.
I love cats, nothing like having a cat to cuddle up to in front of the TV, they do not moan when I blow off unlike the Mrs.
We got our kitten at 5 weeks. The missus had one day booked off work with it and then we've left it at home ever since.
How can you not like the animal because it is 'selfish'?
By that token, dogs have no self respect because they love you even if you treat them like shyte....should I hate them for being so thick?
No, they're animals, not people.
Animals do what animals do, it's not their fault.
Ermmmm....think I quantified it when I used the word irrational.
Did you mean 'qualify'?
It's not irrational if you have reasons for it - which you outlined!
Not that it matters; each to their own. I just like pretty much all animals - it doesn't mean that I want to try and cuddle a bull shark!
They kill birds, frogs, newts, toads and anything else they can for no purpose as they don't eat them.
Evil animals.
Cat lover
