Things you should know about CATS
There are a lot of "cat myths" out there. People often think that cats aren't lovable, sociable, or good companions. But ask a cat person about their cat and most will tell you that they are one of the best companion pets because they can be very lovable and sociable. Plus they require less care than a dog since you don't have to let them outside to do their "business". Cats can adapt to being indoor only or indoor/outdoor and can also learn to come when called. Many cats become so attached to their owners that they will actually take walks with them either freely or on a leash. They can be very playful and entertaining, especially as kittens, and can quickly become lap cats.
People often worry about adopting a FIV positive cat. No reason to worry as they are very adoptable and loving cats.
