Question regarding one of my birthday presents...

[deathpixie]

Okay, so the birthday gift from the roomie (and the one that got the most squeeing) was a litter box/carrying cage, a couple of food/water dishes, and a catnip toy. No, he's not trying to make me the apartment cat - basically it's his way of saying that we can get a cat. Possibly two, since they look after each other better that way. I'm planning to go to one of the shelters and pick myself out a kitty (or two), but I haven't done it yet because something occurred to me the other day.

Dexcon is coming up (August 3-6, btw), and we have quite a few people doing the usual and crashing with us before and after the event itself. I'm aware there are a number of people of my acquaintance with serious allergies, plus there's the fact an apartment full of people may not the the easiest thing for new kitties to deal with. Summer is also the height of kitten season, so there would be a lot more choice out there for me if I leave obtaining said kitties until August.

So, here's where I ask for advice. With a poll!

Well, as far as the drunk people go, it's really something that varies according to the cat. Flashie and Greyie were (and in Greyie's case, are) fine with large numbers of noisy drunk people - Greyie loved the attention at my 21st, as did one of the dogs. The other one hid under the house. ;) I THINK Molcron was a bit shy of people, but then he also used to attack dogs, so. :)

And Menaleus (housemate's kitten) is an attention whore who loves it when people stay here - we get new people to give him a fish treat and he's there friend for good after that.

Oh, and Menalus and Flashie both started out feral and they ended up fone with people. Grey didn't - she came from my aunt who told a five year old me and my three year old sister to ask our mother if we could have a kitten. :)
