So my partner and I "picked" our cat in that we went to a shelter and looked at different cats. But what really happened is our now cat saw me, meowed, and aggressively rubbed on me when we opened the cage. The attendent was shocked because she never liked anyone touching her before

So really even when you get a cat the cat still picks you
