Felines require less time and expense than most other pets, including dogs.
Cats are independent, usually inexpensive to obtain and very clean. They also are extremely adaptable and happy living in either a small apartment or a large house. The more you observe a cat's behavior, the better you'll understand its basic nature, its likes and dislikes. Cats are independent, but do need the company of humans and can be very affectionate. Kittens are particularly vulnerable to illness and should receive their shots starting at seven to nine weeks of age.
