2 . Cats - Overview

Now is the time to consider what's involved. Before adopting any pet cat or otherwise you must realize that you are making a long-term commitment. You have to be prepared to care for the animal for its entire life. Even when things change in your life, be it deciding to live with someone, relocating to another city or country, or having children, you should be willing to make the necessary concessions to ensure your pet continues to have the kind of life to which it becomes conditioned. Even going on vacation means making arrangements for someone to look after your pet. If you work an inordinate number of hours or travel often, it may be better to wait until your life is more settled, or you might consider adopting more than one cat so they'll have company and stimulation. It's true that most cats accept being left alone much more easily than dogs, but rarely are they the aloof, completely independent creatures that many people seem to believe they are. Cats thrive on the attention and affection that comes from you.

3 . Shopping Around

When you begin looking for a feline companion, you'll quickly discover there is no shortage of candidates; in fact, there aren't nearly enough homes for all the available cats. You'll find an almost overwhelming selection at animal shelters and small-scale private animal rescue groups, pet stores, veterinarians and breeders. You can also go the informal route, taking a kitten from the litter of a friend's or neighbor's cat or bringing in the stray that shows up at your door. Newspaper ads are another source, especially if you are looking for an inexpensive adult cat that has already been fixed and vaccinated. But wherever you start your search, remember the golden rule: No impulsive decisions. If you have any doubts about the kitten or cat, keep looking until you find the right one.

4 . First Days

Before you bring your new cat or kitten home, make sure you're ready to take care of his basic needs. First, find a vet who suits you. Your new arrival should be examined as soon as possible after you bring him home. Also make time to poke around a pet-supply store for food and litter, plus their containers and a few other essentials.
