If you are thinking of getting a cat or a kitten, you have to remember that this is a lifetime commitment. Preparing yourself for the responsibilities of cat-ownership is the beginning of a happy and rewarding time sharing your life with a pet.
But what are the considerations? As this is a partnership and not a one-way relationship you have to consider whether you are suited to your chosen pet and vice versa. A cat is very selective in the choice of carer, and often will be the one who adopts the owner rather than the other way around!
When you are considering whether to offer a home to a kitten or a cat, you need to think about:
