8. Adopting adult kitties is a completely different experience

than adopting kittens.

Adult cats have learned some manners, have learned some language (my old tomcat would respond to Spanish, not to English), and are beyond that kittens climbing the curtains stage. They're grateful once the realize they're not going back to that place with the barking dogs and that you're their new human and yes! they can sleep on the furniture. In addition, they have their own fully developed personalities and it's great fun to get to know them.

Once I adopted my first adult kitty, I never adopted another kitten. I did adopt other adults.
