I am considering adopting this seven years old Siamese tomcat from a shelter.





Interaction with him was OK, I think. He readily approached me and sniffed me carefully. I gave him a treat and he played with me/my hand. In the course of that we had his claws out just a tiny bit, but as far as I know that's totally normal play behavior, not aggressive.

Background: I have never owned a cat before, but have though about it for several years now. I live alone in an apartment of approximately 50 m² (530 ft²). I work long hours and am sometimes gone for a night on the weekends. This is why I thought about adopting an older, independent cat.

The people at the shelter recommended him to me as a cat who does not get along all too well with other cats and likely will not mind being alone at my place.

I wish to give a cat a loving and caring home and would appreciate a cat who doesn't need to be cuddled and held all the time (for the reasons just mentioned; though cuddling doesn't hurt, of course).

What do you of the SA Siamese Appreciation Society say to that?

He's not an actual tomcat, right, he was neutered when he was young?

Yes. Sorry, English is not my native language and I was not aware that a neutered male cat is not actually a "tomcat". :)
