If you are planning on buying or adopting a cat, you should keep several things in mind. Hair might be a problem for some, and constant grooming is required, depending on the cats breed. Cats are also known for sharpening their claws on whatever they can find, and this includes your couch and armchairs, and lastly, the litter box must be kept clean 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.
Nothing really means nothing. My couch was almost ruined by its claws, and my CDs were destroyed. Its claws really would sink into anything it could find, and if it had no food in its bowl, the kitchen table would become its new playground.
Unfortunately, another item that fell to its claws was my iriver clix 2gb. I really loved that thing and considered it to be one of the best things I’d bought. Even though my girlfriend found it funny how I found it chewed up in a corner, I was determined to give the kitty away. Until she bought me a new player and I wasn’t mad anymore.
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!
