Older cats are generally quieter and more sensible than kittens or young cats. they are usually used to household life - more likely to doze while leaving your furnishings intact and know the ground rules of living with people. In general, they need less supervision
The mature
cat is more placid than a kitten and usually content to spend much of his
time watching the world go by. He is more home loving and settled, making
an excellent companion. If you enjoy pampering your cats, an older cat
enjoys the attention more than a kitten Although there is not much variation in size between cats, the older cat is fully grown and you can see what you are taking on: large, small, long-haired or short-haired. The cat's previous owner may also have provided details of the cat's character, allowing you to adopt a cat that suits your own personality and lifestyle. With adult and older cats, it is easier to find one that matches your needs The great outdoors Many older cats will happily potter about the garden with you. they are usually much more home-centered and less likely to wander off on long hunting expeditions than a younger cat. As cats grow older they often turn their attention from playing or hunting to spending time quietly with their owners. One advantage to homing an older cat as opposed to a kitten is that you already know if he is a hunting cat Nowadays, cats live much longer than in the past and the fact that some ailments are more common in older cats doesn't mean that your cat will develop them. A great many cats reach their teens and twenties with little or no sign of deterioration, gliding gracefully into old age by simply slowing down their pace of life
