~Michiko Mint~ I strongly suggest against an in=home "test run" of this cat. When I move houses one of my cats spends the first 2-3 days sitting in a dark, quiet room and will hiss at anyone who tries to disturb her, myself included. Usually she is the sweetest, best behaved, most affectionate cat I've ever met but being put in a new home is a traumatic experience, especially when they're also with a new person. My mother actually also recently got a new kitten and had the same experience. The kitten loves her now[/] but it took more than a weekend for him to adjust.
For the sake of the cat and your opinion of him/her, visit it in its own home if you want to get a feel for its personality. It may take a while for the cat to get used to you there too so don't judge it too quickly. Think of it like a child, you're not it's parent. It doesn't know you. Why would it open up to you the first time you meet or if you randomly take it home with you? A child would be scared and confused the same way a cat will.
As for not trusting your co-worker, bring it up with them. Mention that you're a little suspicious about this cat and want a real idea of what it's like. I really don't agree with the idea, but maybe for YOU it would be best to come to a pre-adoption agreement that if it doesn't work out you can give the cat back. Remember that this is very traumatic for the animal though.
I highly recommend adopting an adult cat. They are calmer than kittens, though may have bad traits that they learned through their life. I adopted an adult cat 2 years ago and, as I mentioned above, she is the best cat I've ever met. She is affectionate, calm, polite and never ever vicious towards people. I adopted one of her kittens at the same time and, though I adore her as well, she is not as affectionate, loves to get into trouble and is prone to random acts of aggression if you're not paying attention to whether she still wants to be pet or not. She's also not a kitten anymore at 2.5 years old so this is not just 'kitten playfulness'. Just goes to show that even adopting a kitten doesn't mean you'll end up with a perfect cat.Now this was some good advice! 3nodding Really helpful thank you.

It was playful and happy, we brought it home and let it get settled well for weeks we never saw this cat, so we went to try to find her and we'd wait at the food dish for her. She got finicky and scared when we came around, it wasn't even an immediate placement we let her get to know us and she moved houses and got completely terrified. There is never really a way to know how things will go, it's more luck of the draw or crossing your fingers. There was also another one we had, she was at our feet in the kitchen and we moved the slightest bit she ran for cover in a hole beneath our kitchen cabinets, well she completely disappeared till we found her in the air conditioning system, she was still alive so we tried to feed her but because she had been hidden so long her stomach started eating itself and she died sometime after her rescue. The best thing you can do right now is decide to try the cat out in your home after a couple visits to their own. You never know what will actually happen. I like watching kittens grow up, so if that's not what you are into adopting an adult is your best chance.

Not all cats are the same we just got two that really didn't like to be placed a lot. We also lost three amazing cats to a move to Texas, we lost one to FIP when we moved and we lost one other cat when she left home, we aren't sure what exactly happened but we do believe it was the new kittens that came into the house that we rescued. Two from a home that couldn't keep them and one from a parking lot. Our tuxedo cat 'Bolt' chooses when he wants to be touched, the one cat we have no idea what species he is xD is affectionate but not by much. He shows aggression but even growing up until their three to four or more they will show kitten playfulness, they don't age like humans do and they don't mature either. Also we have a much older cat who was aggressive and affectionate but her aggression was just cause she wanted to play with you or elsewhere, she grew up into a mom figure and takes care of the rescued kittens we bring in. So cats can change with time, even kittens, they just need to either age or be born that way.

Is there any way to change that? neutral Like when I moved out on my own my personality took a 180.

I won't go into that junk here and now... Yes, but not for all cats... the one cat we took in from the streets was a scared little guy, eventurally calmed down to be loving like a normal cat... but some, like I have one cat (one I had yet to mention) that's scared of EVERYTHING!... still a scared and insane little cat. She gots odd habbits, and has mood swings a lot. It never wants to be approached, it barily ever wants to be petted, you try to pick it up it'll throw a little fit... but then like five minutes later, the complete opposite. It's a weird cat.

- - stuffed s p e c t r a Shadowing Death - - stuffed s p e c t r a Shadowing Death tina138 neutral I understand the debate, but I was more concerned on the point of view with the people offering me the cat. Now I have learned that even if she has her shots I will still need to take her into a vet regularly and as needed. So I will research prices of vets in my area and do the necessary math for funds for food, litter and vet expenses. And I agree with not needing a kitten. I don't want the poor thing to get electrocuted on any of my electronics, or any cat for that matter. Ok then... and about the kitten/cat frying thing... yeah, unless there's exposed wires plugged into the wall in a water puddle... I don't think they'll necessarily get electrocuted... or unless you use the same exposed wire as string. Cats are pretty smart… kittens… to an extent. They don’t say they got nine lives because they all fry themselves to death, now do they? xp Uhhhhh ... yea ... PROTECT YOUR WIRES!!!! The scared cat of mine, his name is Bolt now ... he chewed through a wire and got himself electrocuted ... he survived. That why he's called bolt?... or... is it like that dog that had a lightning bolt on his fur? whee Yeah, one of my current cats got hit by a car and survived... no major injuries. The thing that actually freaked me out a bit was how it was in shock for like an hour, and it's 'shock face'. Looked like it was super surprised, like every second it opened a door to a dark room to find a surprise party with a billion blow horns in it... that was pretty much my thought process when I picked it up after being hit by the car. She could walk and everything, just fine... I don't think she was one bit injured, which I still find remarkable. His previous name was Boregard so yea, Bolt came along after he got electrocuted, I wanted to call him Sparky >.> Boregard? Weird name. o.O

If they become a scared little thing of pretty much everything well then you have to work with em, you can't give up, get him treats lure them out and show em that you are not their enemy. Talking rarely seems to work but luring them out and giving them affection will help increase their social skills. Treats and snacks, toys and cat n** are cats best friends give a cat what they want and they are bound to come out more often but you may get one of those lazy affectionate cats XD

I STRONGLY agree with a test run. Knowing, of course that the cat may act differently at first anyway due to an unknown environment. But give it a chance.
I don't think the act that they really want you to take the cat is neccisarily a bad thing. Yes, it's possible they are trying to sucker you into taking some sort of "defective" cat... but there is an equal chance they just really want their cat to have a HOME. The fact is most cats in animal shelters get euthanized. People want kittens and they are (TOO) readily available from those who choose not to fix their cats. So most cats in the shelter die.
If they have some reason to have to get rid of the cat it makes sense they would be a little pushy. If I was ever forced to rehome any of my animals I would be frantic trying to find them a home with someone I could TRUST.
