are starting with a clean slate and you will have a friend that will quickly

bond with you. Kittens are excellent because they don't have any bad habits

yet and you can begin training them your rules right away. Older cats are

often best if you are a low energy person and you don't have time to

constantly be looking after a kitten to ensure they are not getting in any

mischief. Older cats have usually been spayed or neutered, may be declawed

and their maintenance is much easier in terms of feeding and vaccinations.

Ultimately, it will be up to you to determine if your lifestyle fits a kitten

or an older cat.
There are numerous cat breeds and it is important to choose one that is right

for you and your family.
When choosing a newborn kitten the first thing you need to think about is

whether you will be able to deal with a cat that is vocal. Some breeds can be

almost noisy. Many people do not mind this vocalization, as they know that

the cat is merely communicating with them, but it might be a problem if you

live in an apartment or you already have a house of loud kids. Vocal breeds

include:
"Siamese
"Korat
"Bumese
Quiet cat breeds include:
"Scottish Fold
"Somali
"America Curl
We all know that a newborn kitten decide who they want to cuddle with and

when. This also means that you can choose a breed that loves to cuddle or, if

you're not the cuddly type, then you may want a cat that is more aloof. Aloof

cats are able to occupy themselves, while cuddly cats need more attention.

Your lifestyle will also help you decide which type of cat you will want.

Remember that cuddly cats are also best for children.
