People who are planning on buying or adopting a cat should be aware of several things. First of all, depending on its breed, hair could be a problem. Second of all, your couch and armchairs could be in trouble. They love sharpening their claws on them. And lastly, you need to know that it needs to have a clean litter box, at all times.
After reading a lot about cats, online, and putting a lot of thought into it, I still decided to get one. I opted for a Birmanese kitten, who, although scared at first, got used to me and my girlfriend very quickly. She loved playing with it, and that gave it a lot of confidence and made it believe it could play with anything it wanted, and nothing was safe.
By nothing I absolutely mean nothing. That cat cat had absolutely scratched up my cds. All my CDs were scratched, and my couch was beggining to show signs of wear from the constant clawing. My little kitty always had to have its bowl filled with food or else it would get up on the kitchen table and try to eat what it could find. Milk with kitty hair in it just isn’t good, trust me.
My clix 2 gb also was ruined by my little kitty. The player had no way of defending itself, and my kitty quickly found that out, chewed it up, and left it in a corner. I was very fond of my player and was so mad I almost gave the kitty away. My girlfriend, however, bought me a new player, and told me she found the kitten very funny, and not to give it away. What could I do?
I’ve started keeping all my important things inside a locked desk, and consider anything left outside scratch-resistant. So does my kitty, probably, because It really puts it to the test. Having full reign of the house, my kitty now thinks its more important than me. My girlfriend seems to think so too!
