Hi,
We are thinking of getting a cat/kitten (dh is pretty set on it being a kitten) and not having had a cat since I was a child I had a few questions.
- Are we better off getting one or two?
- How old do they need to be before they can go outside?
- Do you need to get insurance for cats (we certainly never had it on any of ours when I was growing up)?
- What kind of costs are there associated with owning a cat?
- We have an open plan downstairs which the cats would have free reign of and when they are old enough we would like them to be able to go outside freely, however we are struggling with where to put a catflap. We have just had a downstairs extension put in and have large bifold doors at the back onto the garden. There are no windows at the back so I am not sure where we could put it, has anyone here ever put a catflap through a wall?
I am sure I will think of many more questions before we actually get a cat (we are thinking end of August as back from our holiday then).
Many thanks for any advice.
