8. Adopting an adult cat is a terrific thing to do...
*Everyone* wants kittens, and they usually get adopted out first.

But with an adult cat, you get a good shot at knowing what kind of personality the cat has, its likes and dislikes, quirks, etc.

My wife and I adopted a 3-year-old Bluepoint Siamese three years ago. She is a very sweet, loving cat, and has to attach itself (almost literally) to its humans. She absolutely has to sleep in the crook of my wife's left arm every night.

This cat had been through two sets of owners (and a painful declawing) in three years -- it was deemed too "high-maintenance" emotionally.

Imagine -- such a beautiful, trusting cat being unwanted because it had too much love to give!
