Does a cat fit into your lifestyle?

Cats can adapt to most living situations if proper housing, food, grooming, and exercise are provided. To help decide if a cat is the right pet for you, answer the following questions:
  • Do you rent or do you own your home? If you rent, does your lease allow you to keep a cat?
  • How long is your work day? Do you frequently have obligations after work that would interfere with caring for your kitten or cat?
  • Do you travel? Who will care for your pet in your absence?
  • If you have multiple pets, will adding another cause you to violate restrictions on the number or types of pets where you live? Will your new cat get along with your existing pets?
  • Do any family members have allergies to pet hair or dander?
