Well, I think this will need a little bit of introduction. At home I have a 7mo cat which I adopted when he was about 8-10 days old. He suddenly appeared at the tackroom of our barn, some boys sweared he had just fallen from the ceiling. His mother was nowhere to be seen, and certainly not one of our barn cats, who are all neutered. That afternoon, another kitten fell from the ceiling, the feral mother was trying to hide them from people changing places constantly, but these two were left behind, or found before she could move them. This is the cat in my avatar. He's been neutered, and he's so spirited, and so individualist as one would expect of a young spoiled kitten.
There's another barn cat, about 2 years old. Since my kitten was too exquisite to eat some of the food I bought for him, I started to give this food to the barn cats. But this cat is different. He follows me, purring and rubbing against my legs, and most surprisingly, even after I fed him. There are three more cats, all very interested in what I feed them, but they won't notice me afterwards. This cat simply loves being in my tack room, and surprisingly, he follows my directions about when he can stay and when he can't.
I've thought about taking him home. Well, first I'd have to convince my husband, but I don't think that would be the major problem. It seems to me that the right approach would always be to introduce a younger cat, not an older one.
