Alright so after a lot of thought and weighing different issues I have decided to adopt a new cat when I move instead of spilting up the two cats I have now. I have about 3 months, so there isn't a huge rush, but the more I can plan out, the more ready I can be.
So the question comes down to, should I get a cat or a kitten?
My first thought was a kitten, the reason being that I wanted a cat without many bad habits (such as eating books) and one that would be more likely not to put up a fight with the older cat that already lives in the new place. This cat has come a long ways when she was with us, and toward the end was living well with our cats and dog (aside from when the cats tried to eat her treats, but thats to be expected). But I will have about ten days I will have that I can spend with the cat, then I start school and will be gone for half the day all week.
And another quick question would be, should I worry about getting a type of breed? I dont have alot of money, but if its going to be a big thing, I'll move things around to get the type of cat I can be happy with for the rest of it's lifetime.
Any thoughts?
