Independent, and physically hardy kittens and cats are often regarded as “low maintenance” pets. Socializing your new kitten by playing with him/her and providing lots of stimulating toys is very important during the younger ages. Cats make wonderful pets for all family members young and old. Due to breeding cycles, kittens are born and available primarily in the spring and summer months. Feral cats (whether simply homeless or truly wild) often choose quiet spots in garages or under porches to have their babies. If brought into a home and socialized to people before about 8-10 weeks of age, these kittens can be wonderful companions.
Cats can fit into busy, modern lifestyles more easily than dogs, as they are pretty independent, can be left alone much more easily and are more suitable for smaller flats or houses. Cats are often chosen by people who have busy and stressful lifestyles and who want some companionship when they go home to relax.
