Choosing a cat suggests that the decision to keep a pet cat is always part of a carefully thought-out process which is then followed by a visit to a local breeder or rescue centre. However, in a world where cat populations are expanding fast, this is not always the case. It may not even be possible for you to choose between a cat and a kitten as sometimes one or the other will find your family!
If you want to re-home an adult cat, try to avoid taking on a nervous or an aggressive one by visiting the rescue centre several times and offering the cats physical contact.

Cat runs
Create a special run to give your house cat access to an outdoor area. It may be entered via an open window or a cat flap at the back or the side of your home. Cat runs offer your pet the best of both worlds (your home and garden) whilst protecting it from any potential dangers.
Assessing a cat
In rescue centres, the cats rarely show their true behaviours (beyond aggression and timidity) when kept in temporary accommodation. However, the staff may be able to give you a general assessment, which offers some pointers to a cats sociability.
If a cat can be handled (stroked and picked up), that is an indicator of sociability. Nervous cats look for bolt-holes in the smallest places and should not be judged simply on a need to find sanctuary from a hostile world. Such cats may stabilize eventually in a caring home and start being sociable. Prolonged observations and contact with a potential adoptee provides a more realistic assessment of personality.
If you already have a cat, then check with the breeder or rescue centre that an adult cat you may wish to acquire does not display aggressive or dominant behaviour towards other cats.
House cat or free-roaming cat?
The type of facilities you have and the access you offer to the outdoor environment will determine whether you get a pedigree or a moggie. Pedigree kittens, if they are socialized and possess good temperaments, will make great house cats. To prevent exposure to infections from outdoor cats and the dangers of roads, they are often restricted to the house and supervised while exercising within the garden, which should be enclosed securely. If you want your cat to roam freely outside, a moggie is a better choice.
Risks to free-roaming cats
Cats that are unfamiliar with busy roads can find themselves frozen in headlights and struck by vehicles most feline fatalities are the result of night-time road traffic accidents. Other fatalities result from serious infections, such as cat flu and cat leukaemia, which may be passed on by free-roaming cats. Poisons, which are laid down to kill unwanted pests and vermin, are another of the potential hazards for free-roaming cats.
