Six months is still a kitten, they are almost grown but still silly <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />
I agree the bond is better with a kitten, but all of us will be working and I dont want to leave a tiny cat alone in the house. For the houses sake as much for the kitten. I actually might get two cats, cats tend to get bored when all alone and at leat that way they will have a friend to play with when everyone is at work.
