14. I took a 6 year old

I adopted a 6 year old female who had lived at the shelter her entire life. She was not really socialized. I let her hide in the closet all she wanted until she was comfortable. She came out swinging at the big boys (ha ha), so they learned to stay out of her way. After quite awhile, she would sit next to me, but I had to leave her alone. Everything on her terms. We were together for 8 years. She was spicy the entire time! She did get to the point where she let one of the big boys sleep next to her. She also became a little more affectionate with me (on her terms). She was the best cat ever! Good luck with your new baby!
