Seeking random kitten advice. I'm looking at a bunch of kittens that one of my coworkers neghbor has. I have picked out one but am still undecided on the second kitten. The other kitten I was considering got picked out by someone else. Now I'm torn between two kittens one is a fluffy ginger boy and the other is a black girl. The guy I picked out is a short hair ginger. So the first time I visited the fluffy ginger did play with me (both of the gingers where the first two to interact with me) the black girl hid most of the time I was there and only came out in the end but didn't really interact with me. The second time I visited them the fluffy ginger interacted with me some more. However the black girl wasn't feeling well and was hiding in the box spring the whole time we were there. We ended up tearing it apart because the mama cat had made two holes for them to hide in it. You could tell she looked like she wasn't feeling hot. Then after we left she hopped in the chair my dad was sitting in and sniffed it curled up and took a nap. The owner wasn't sure what was bothering her maybe food, she used a dented can of food and thought maybe it made her sick. I'm not sure if that was really the issue because I kind of think that all of the kitty's would be sick if it was the food not just one. One of her adult cats who's is a outdoor/garage cat was also acting funny that day. The little black one kind of reminds me of my late Zorro and she seems to be pretty chummy with the one guy I picked out. The owner has sent me pics of them sleeping together and playing together.
So I'm a bit torn which one to get. I had a few friends point out that I had a really sick cat for a long time and that maybe the black kitty has some underlying health issues if she was the only one who was sick. So I'm a bit torn but I have to make a decision tomorrow because she has other people who want to look at them and she needs to be able to let them know who's available. I half feel like I should go for the fluffy ginger because he was one of the first two who interacted with me and played with me both times I was there. But then I feel like I should get the black girl who seems to be pretty good with the guy I picked out. She didn't really interact with me at all, but I'm thinking that would change if we took her home and she adapts to her new environment. The cat mama is a feral so other than the owner who took them in they haven't had a lot of people interaction. The black girl is really cute and like I said before reminds me of my late cat. The pictures of her with the guy I picked melt my heart.
So I'm going over tomorrow night and have to decide who is the second furbaby. They are going to get their second round of shots in the morning so that's why I'm going later in the day. I feel like I'm over thinking this. A part of my problem is I'm like a little kid when given too many options I want them all. That unfortunately is not a option lol.
I would be wary of one acting sick but I would still consider one that is shy. It took my shy boy a few weeks to fully trust me but he turned out to be the most affectionate. Everytime I watch tv I put my furry blanket in my lap and he naps there until I get up. He's a momma's boy
BTW he is a short hair ginger[emoji173]️
