If you're looking for a feline friend that loves puzzles and games as much as Patterson on Blindspot, the Somali cat is intelligent and goal oriented, which means once the games get started they might never stop. "The Somali loves to play, so plan on making or purchasing a variety of toys to keep him occupied," Cattime advised. "Ping-Pong balls, bottle caps, wadded-up pieces of paper, puzzle toys and teasers such as big peacock feathers will all amuse this busy and brainy cat."
If you're adopting your cat from the shelter, it might be difficult to determine the breed. In order to make sure you and your cat are compatible it's important to spend some time getting to know kitty in the adoption room. You can also volunteer at a shelter, or with a rescue, to get to know a number of cats before deciding to bring one home. Devoting yourself to a cat is an almost 20-year commitment, which is why key to ensure you and kitty are both in for a life of love and happiness.
