I don't want kittens. I want cats, with known personalities. (As I say
this, I also am thinking of my one reservation about getting an older
cat: you wouldn't know what problems it might have acquired because of
whatever it has been through.) I would get a cat/cats (I think plural,
so they will have companionship) now except I don't think it is fair to
the cat/s to do it now, when I anticipate being away to some degree.

Yes, I will adopt a cat/cats, either littermates or friends. There are
so many that need homes.
