Reading up on cat care, and I'm scared. frown There's just so much to think about, and so much I have to know. Things like nail trimming and proper food and how do I keep kitty a good kitty? Ray's cat used to scratch up everything in the house. I don't want that. And I don't want kitty to be outside. Some people's kitties are scared to go outside, and that's the kind of kitty I want so I don't have to worry about kitty getting run over. I think my Little Apartment is big enough for a kitty.

Also I want my house to smell NOT like kitty. I think I will be good about the litter box because poop in the house is something I won't let happen for long. But what about regular cat smell and hair on the couch and all that? I'm allergic to cats, actually... but I've been able to deal with that in the past so I don't think it will be an issue here... though it depends on the kitty, I think.

kitties!

I have to hang out with Beth and her kitty and learn things.

miao!!

Please tell me more about kitties if you know. I joined the Kitties Group and I think it scared me more than comforted me... I mean, one person says "wet food only!" then another says "wet food makes cats puke!" and I just don't know. frown

Yes, I will adopt the kitty, of course, if I get one. Not sure where from. I want a kitten not an adult, which is also more scary because that means I have to raise kitty right.

So much responsibility!!! And that's a commitment for 18 years or more! It's like having a kid!!! Aaarrrggghh!1!!!11

I'm not rushing into this. Gonna do plenty thinking first.

Story about another kitty:

SPOILERS! (Click to view)
chunk!

a short story by wesley doremus..

many moons ago there was a college student named wes. he lived in a nasty colege party house. his roomates always had cats. one day, shortly after the roomates with cats moved out, a cat which had been tearing up wes' trash and making him mad caused wes to think. "hmm", wes thought.. there is no cat in the house. so wes went in to the house, and got some catfood. he brought it to the cat and the cat came flying over and ate like a madman. the cat was very happy and purring loudly. when the cat was done eating it tried rubbing on wes, as so many pussies do. then wes noticed that the cats head had a gaping wound on it. like huge. it was missing part of its head. so wes said, "im gonna call u chunk. since i have no money, all i can do is feed you. i will go to class and if i come back and you are still here i will pour some peroxzide on that thing and bring u in for the night." so wes went to class and when he came home he was expecting chunk to be waiting. when he wasnt, wes was surprised. "what the hell?", wes said. so wes goes to bed and shortly after he hears a meow coming from somewhere inside the house. "its chunk! it must be chunk!" wes exclaimed with glee. so wes looked around the house and found that chunk somehow got into his basement and was at the top of the basement steps trying to get in. so wes let chunk in and said,"boy o boy am i glad to see you". so wes slowly nurished chunk back to life, and to this day loves him dearly. chunk is not a normal cat anymore. it seems that his fleshwound was due to getting hit by a car, and has always had, what seems to be, braindamage. see, chunk does fancy tricks with his paws when he is board. best described as playing with an imaginary ball of yarn. he does it while haning off of things. its not that he is wierd, he seems to be in a trance like state when doing it. he also stares at walls, and falls off of things. he is a good cat. he likes being pet, and he seems to come around most of all when wes's friends are enjoying there intoxicants of the green variety. wes loves him dearly. chunk returns the favor. "what a good cat." wes says. wes also says, "what a fuckin wierdo".

the moral of the story is, just because a pussy has a oozing wound on it, doesnt mean it wont make a good buddy.

Cats!
everyone has an opinion, this site should have an aka like suicide people with cats or something.

here's my 2 cents (I have had cats for over 20 years) first dont get one. You seem to travel a lot and you'll have to deal with that. Second they smell especially in a smallish apt. Third if you allergic it will make matters worse. Having said that I would suggest you do not get a kitten. Too much trouble. Get a 2 year old. Get a female one that has been fixed and preferably de-clawed. if u have a cat with claws theyll rip everything up regardless of what you do or others say. They cannot be trained like a dog and no matter how hard you try to educate them to only scratch where it is appropriate as soon as you piss the cat off (which is often) they tear something else up. This is my experience, for whats its worth.

loved the tat. either I am loosing my mind or was away but I do not recall seeing it before
