Recently got two cats. I was on the fence because of a history of allergies, but my partner insisted there is a special food that contains a protein which reduces the allergens in cat dander, so I caved.
We initially went in for one (at a rescue). The cat we liked had two kittens (well...adult kittens I guess, I feel weird saying "children"), a boy and a girl. We never saw the girl but the boy would come out and hang with us while we were visiting his mum. The boy was super chill and apathetic which I really liked, whereas the mum was more cuddly and affectionate which my partner liked. When we visited the second time, the sister had been adopted, so it was just mum and son left, so we adopted both. They're black-and-white short hairs, so we called mum "Magpie" and son "Puffin".
As it turns out, Magpie is far more chill and relaxed, happy to lounge around and only bothers us for the odd scratch behind the ears. Puffin is far needier than he let on. I often stay up late because I work shifts, and when I do, boy howdy is he a pain in the ass. Following me around, jumping on my laptop, meowing constantly as if he's starving. I went to the loo to take care of business and locked him out and he spent the entire five minutes I was in there scratching the door and meowing to be let in. He scammed us.
They're cute cats though. So far my allergies have been better than I expected, but worse than I hoped.
