Adopt an adult cat.

I was adopted as an adult cat, I was two years old at the time. My former mom wasn't able to take care of my sister and me and had to give us up. My new mom and dad adopted me over a lot of kittens, because I was prettier and didn't have that spiky fur thing going on. I also knew that it wasn't right to chew on the roll of toilet paper, except during the day... You gotta teach kittens these things, adult cats already know! Plus we make great mentors to kittens!
