DH wants a cat, what do I need to know?

DH has always had cats, until he went to uni.

We now have our own house so it seems like a good time.

However we live on a main road, so not sure if we could have an outdoor cat, or if we should stick to an indoor one. Is the consensus that it is ok to keep a cat indoors?

We would definitely get a cat from a rescue as I don't agree with getting any animal from a breeders when there are so many that need new homes, so probably wouldn't be a kitten.

TIA

Unless the rescue has two cats that have always lived together, cats don't like friends. Litter mates that have never been separated may get on but two unrelated cats is a no no. They are solitary creatures and find the presence of other cats stressful.
