I get you completely. This is what I thought before I tried to adopt a cat when I lived on a main road in Leicester. Now this was a while back (I documented it on here I think) but the charities assessed me as only being suitable for having house cats and none of them had house cats to adopt.
So although I technically "bought" my boys, I also adopted them and rescued them. Diz was over a year and Dylan was 9 months. There was a significant discount compared to buying Singa kittens.
Y'all probably know I lost Dylan. And I mean he really meant missing, it's not a euphemism. That's the real downside of healthy pedigree cats. I still dream about him now.
I couldn't afford a Singa now, kitten or older. But if I had my 'druthers I would have another when Diz dies. The temprement breeds true (excepting cat-friendly which Dyl had and Diz doesn't - in spades!).
My word I love having such an attentive, intelligent, human-centric cat.
As it goes I probably won't even get a moggie. Not fair with an unsure future.
