Hi Clare and welcome to the forum

I think it's great that you are thinking of adopting 2 older cats, I wish you all the best if you go ahead

I adopted my Frankie nearly 3 years ago, he is around 6 years old and my boy before was Timmy (r.i.p) we were told that he was around 6 yrs when we got him, but when he was very poorly the vet said he was more than likely to be about 12 yrs.


Keep us posted

Excuse me, but if you go back and check my post, nowhere do I ask for facts and figures, and I am not being rude, on the contrary, I think you are being overtly argumentative and have completely derailed the thread that the OP started.

Yes, of course it is a consideration I haven't said anything against it, however I do think that you can't live your life by the what ifs. Would I have not got Sooty if I had known that he would develop an aggressive bone cancer at the age of 14, taking him away from me in less than two months? No, I wouldn't have changed my time with him for the world, and I think it's a crappy excuse to avoid creating a meaningful relationship with human or animal throughout our entire lifetime.

Now please, just give in, leave it alone, and if you want to continue the argument please go ahead and start another thread.

I did, look!!!! To keep from derailing this thread!

i have 2 x breeding cats (ragdolls) when we got them they were terrified as they were kept outside and the breeder did bring them into the house but were kept in a dog crate, they took alot of work to get them to where they are now, but they run and hide if a stranger comes into the house but still they have there gentle nature.
i have heard that if they spray then even after neutering they can still spray! mine dont though so not sure if this is true. but i say go for it, i would change mine abit
