My dh, ds 4 and I will be getting our first family cat in a few weeks - we're so excited! We have been thinking this over for years, researched breeds and breeders and found a breeder we absolutely love (she is awesome!) We'vechosen a breed that has the personality we are looking for (we plan to rescue older cats when our son is a bit older as we really want to give older or disabled kitties a loving forever home but we think we need to notch up experience first, but that is def something we want to do). Kitten will be neutered and an indoor cat, both things we believe in strongly, we're cat proofing the house, he'll be allowed free range, dh works from home - we've put a lot of thought into it. Got a good vet lined up and will be insuring.
But we haven't had cats since we were teens ourselves and we're a bit unsure about what to expect. We're not fussed about mess or scratched furniture but a bit nervous of fleas and all the unknowns. Can people share their cat and kitten experiences, cos we'd like to hear some more about the reality - good and bad!
