thinking bout getting a cat

While funny, I have never found that to be the case. Our cats are very affectionate. Usually at 3 am. Seriously though, our cats are independent to a point. I think when you have a kitten you have to spend a LOT of time with them for the first year. Thats when they learn to socialize. Whatever behavior they learn as a kitten will determine the adult cat.



And this:


Will become this:

 

Get a male and get it fixed. We have had 2 for pest control. They were great pets they went in and out on their own schedule. Meaning no litter boxes thank goodness.

 

My boy oly, he's a real ass only comes in to eat and sleep

 

I really enjoy having cats around .

 

Cats are awesome. I say get one, man.

 

Lol

Unlike dogs that eat each other's shit

 

It sounds like you're looking for a cat like mine. We give him an auto feeder and he's good to go. We just leave a window open for him and he comes and goes as he pleases. I've had and for about 3 and a half years. 1 of my family members gave it to my son for his birthday.

 

I would say get one but your schedule seems to hectic. Kittens need more attention than grown cats. Just make sure your house or apartment is safe. I lost my kitten a while back cause the pull string on the blinds were looped and he basically got caught and hung himself… not something you want to see.

 

fixed

 

Cats are independent, but not as much as some tend to believe. They do get lonely. A kitten will especially need some attention. If you must have it, please consider adopting an adult cat too. Two take very little more care than one and when you're not there, they have each other.

 

I have 4 cats. I keep 2 under my truck & 1 under each of my cars. Best place in the world for cats.

 

Spend time getting to know the cat our cat picked us as her companions and she was a great freind( we had to put her down yesterday after13 great years).the 1 thing to remember is that pets do require responsability,have the cat spayed or nutered and do keep up with all the vet. visits and you will have a long relationship .
good luck with your decision.

 

i have 600 saved up for mod money that im considering turning into cat money ( I over budget each month and throw the extra in savings for toys) Ive tended my dads cats before, he has 4 2 mainecoons and 2 strays and a dog and 3 kids. and i definately would assure that they got the care that my cat if i got one would need. After talking with my dad and a few friends i decided i will get one if my land lord doesnt mind. but still before im completely dead set ill still think about all the pros and cons mentions until he reaches adoption age

 

Why you need $600 for a cat ? Go save one from the pound

 

this. they are hilarious at times, other times they will piss you off. Mine loves to play with plastic bags... cats and laser pointers will never get old.

if you own a cat you must watch this.

They live to be about 20 (give or take a couple) years old so make sure you can dedicate yourself to a cat for that long

Rough year for you losing the cat and the wife. Sorry to hear man
