Sorry if this isn't the right forum. I wasn't entirely sure where to put it.
1. How common is it for urine to permanently stain carpets or hardwood floors? Assuming I can find an apartment with either, which would I be better off choosing? (My current apartment doesn't allow pets, but my lease is almost up.)
2. I'd probably prefer a studio apartment since it's cheaper, but do you think a 1-bedroom apartment would be better so the cat(s) aren't always waking me up at night?
3. I was thinking about adopting two cats who are already socialized. Do you think this is a good idea, or would I be better off adopting one cat first then maybe getting a second later? For the most part my shifts are 6 hours long currently, but I'm occasionally gone longer, and I'll likely get a full-time job at some point.
4. I've done quite a bit of research online and at the library, so I think I have a decent idea of what to expect, but would it be a good idea to try fostering first since I've never owned a cat before? I assume animal shelters aren't opposed to people adopting the cat(s) they initially foster, eh?
Thanks
