I have a 4 month old kitten that we got because the lady suggested her cat needed a little buddy (had lived with several cats all his life until the move here). He's pretty well the same thing...won't go outside unless I'm there to watch him, etc. Still pretty cute for a cat but make no mistake, as soon as I get a house with a yard I'll have my dog...probably a retriever mix, maybe a beagle...something that will help me shoot more critters of some kind. lol
