A cat with a good temperament won't bite you, is incapable of turning its feelings on and I off, will not put up a wall between you, and will not be friendly one day and reclusive the next, so I've finally overcome my reluctance to take on the responsibility.
My cat will be an orange cat, young adult, male, and fixed.
I don't know how I will find one. I'd take one living on the street if I could.
Good idea, Daniel. A male is a good bet. They tend to be more easygoing than females.

We've lived with several cats, and I've cared for many more; we used to help out a friend who had a pet sitting business.
Like people, cat personalities are all over the map. Getting to know the individual cat you adopt will take some time, and I think the secret to success is to be prepared for a kitty who might not be exactly what you expected, but that you can still form a wonderful lifelong relationship with. Animals have a wonderful way of leading us to learn about ourselves.
Enjoy the journey!
