Pets Of The Week: Older And Wiser

DETROIT (CBS Detroit) Sure, young pets are fun, with their bright and bouncy personalities, but they can also be a pain. Hours of potty training, furniture training, obedience training, accidents, are sure to follow a puppy or kitten adoption.

So if you're in the market for a new companion, look beyond the traditional puppies and kittens and think about a guy or gal who's been around the block a few times. They have just as much love to give.

Consider, for example, Meesha, This sweet and affectionate 7-year-old shorthaired cat weighs 10 pounds and is a well-behaved kitty looking for a forever family. Meesha is a big time snuggler who enjoys lounging around in your lap and having her chin scratched. She'll make you forget all about those kittens.
