I support animal causes. I'm a cat person. I love all animals. My hair is rainbow colored. I have a grey haired cat named Tyson. I've never had a dog but I've had cats. I recently got a Scottish fold tabby from a shelter. I brush my cat twice a week to keep his hair untangled. I try not to brush my cat if he won't keep still. I have cat hair all over my place. I like maine coon cats.
I graduate from Yale in 2011 at 9 years old. I studied Electrical engineering and computer science at Yale. I live in Manhattan, New York. My parents work as bankers. I have a bamboo. I drive a BMW. I work for an MNC. I'm a dog person. I have a spouse who is a cat person. I've been with my spouse for around 12 years. I am with my childhood sweetheart. I prefer dogs but have thought about getting a cat. I've owned several dogs. I've brushed dogs before. I am looking at getting a kitten.
I vacuumed my entire main floor to get rid of the cat fur.  I used to have a dog who had so much fur!  She was a Husky and I would brush her every day.  So much hair!  I love maine coon cats too. So pretty! Animals are beautiful aren't they!! But oh the hair!! Do you think you and your wife will take the chance and get a pet? I believe we will, and probably a cat this time.  Any recommendations?  Is it better to get a male or a female? I prefer the females. They don't seem to want to get away as much as the males. Do you know where you'll buy from? There are some good rescue shelters in NY. I'm sure I will get a rescue.  I don't know a lot about cats.  Do different ones have different temperaments, like dogs? My best advice is, it doesn't matter the breed....it's the personality. Go to the shelter and spend some time there or even a couple of shelters. I'm a true believer in, you'll know when it's a right fit. I mean ya, you could focus on the breed, but you might miss out on some pretty amazing options. That's very true, and a great idea.  I will do that.  I have had that happen with dogs I rescued in the past.  You just know when you find a good one, and have a connection. Right! Sometimes it's you that gets picked!!! I am really excited for you guys! It will be so fun!! Have you picked up any supplies yet, or are you still in the planning stages? We are just in the planning stages.  Any recommendations on what we need?  I know a litter box...lol Lol!! You got that right! Make sure you ask at the shelter for good recommendations for a vet. They'll probably send you home with a bag of goodies from the shelter. I'd probably wait and see what they give you. Watch what the kitty kat plays with and then go from there. As far as food I'd go with what the shelter gives you. Chewy.com is always a great source to go to also! Great!  Thank you for the information.  I'm looking forward to it.  I may even grow to prefer cats....lol
