To be able to have a good experience with any pet there are a few things to consider before bringing them home. The first thing is the lifestyle of both you and the cat. It is important for the cat to be happy as well as you. Can you afford a cat? Your cat can not go without food or cat litter even for just one day. It's important to think about the real costs of pet ownership. When you decide a cat is the right pet for you the next questions are what breed of cat and where to get your new pet.
A pet needs care on a daily basis. You can not leave your cat alone for the weekend because it has to be fed, let out and played with. You need to examine your lifestyle and decide if a cat will fit in and be happy. An unhappy cat will make you unhappy by looking for your attention doing things like clawing and peeing on furniture. The cats needs are as important as yours.
Can you afford a cat? There are costs involved in pet ownership that you may have not thought about. Such as vet bills and medicine if the cat gets hurt or falls ill. Going to a Vet can cost as much as a you seeing a Doctor and any medicine the cat may need may be expensive as well. You should make a list of the things a cat needs every month like food and cat litter then find out what it will all cost and if you can afford it.
Buying a cat of a specific breed from a reputable breeder can help to assure that you get a healthy animal. You should research both the breed and the breeder thoroughly. Some breeds require more care than others, for example long haired cats need to be brushed more. Also the cost varies greatly between both different breeds and also between different breeders. Another good option is getting your cat from a pet shelter. They have many cats that need a good home at a low cost if any.
Cats have a lot of personality and are a good choice for a pet. If you think through what you want from a pet and what the pet needs both you and your cat will be happy in the end. Pick a cat that will suit your lifestyle and budget. Most important always take good care of your pet.
