Now that I'm getting settled back in the US, I'm thinking of adopting a new cat. My cat Mickey died while I was in Japan (he was in Moscow).
I got Mickey as a juvenile, about 6 months old. I'm thinking about adopting a senior cat this time. It would be an indoor situation, in a condo, with no other pets around, and I have to work full days (more once we get past the COVID obviously), and occasional travel for a week or two at a time. So I'm looking for a fairly low key animal that is ok spending days amusing itself, but will be happy when I'm home.
Any tips or warnings for adopting a senior animal versus a kitten or juvenile?
