Default Adoption advice needed

Matthew Higa wrote in
:

Hi everyone! Way back in 1990 or so, I inherited two cats,
Midnight and Nora. The three of us lived happily together until
last December when Midnight left us for the Rainbow Bridge. I'm
now ready to adopt another cat so that we'll again be a
threesome, but I need some advice on how to choose a new
furbaby. I don't mean how to choose a healthy cat, but how to
choose a cat that is meant to be for you. Another way to put it
is, how do I know if an adoptable cat "on display" at Petco (by
the SPCA) or whereever has chosen me to adopt it? I apologize
if my question is confusing or if I just sound loony, but I
really want to try and bring home a kitty that will get along
with me and my 13-year old "baby". Thanks to all in advance!


This may or may not help, but...

When I adopted my recently-departed Edie, I made about three
seperate trips to narrow down the choices. Whenver I took her out
of the cage, she rubbed her head against my hand and was so that I
really wanted her. But, at that time, she was scheduled to go to
someone else. The next time I came in to "absolutely" decide on a
cat, I was told that her adoption had fallen through, so I applied
for her. When I adopoted her, she was only two days from
euthanization.

Sometimes, the bond is obvious, then circumstances give you a
little push!
