Some lucky cat is going to walk into a heaven on earth when you adopt it.
My cat does not bother the tread in the machine - but if he gets a hold of one on the floor it goes flying all over as he bats it around.
If you take home material with an order on it - mine lets me know!
Now potatoes are a different story - my cat hates them and if I don't put them away immediately- I have to throw them away. Go figure.
We chose our cat from the humane society. Went in many times had my requirements and the main one was when I held it it had to purr right away. The cat has been a member of our family for 12+ years and it was an adult cat who had been brought back 3 times before we adopted it.
Found out that it woke the other owners up in the middle of the night. It did it the first night to me - I took it out and showed it where the food and water were and I went back to bed. Second night it came to get me and I looked at it and said - you know where your food and water is go get it. That was the last time it woke me up in the middle of the night.
Just remember - Cats pick you!
