[quote=Anonymous]I married a cat person, and we've got three now.  They are entirely different animals, and I highly recommend fostering, if you can, before adopting.

We adopted ours in pairs, and the first two were pretty much the jackpot on cats.  Loved people, used the box religiously, had no issues when the kids arrived.  We lost the first one to cancer a few years ago; the second one is still with us in his mid-teens.  The second two are fine but extremely skittish, but my cat-magnet spouse was probably the only person who'd take them, so here here they are.  As long as they use the box, they're welcome to stay, and they odd ducks that are quite entertaining to have around.

The downsides:  as with any pet, the cost of food and vet care (spent a year of college on the first pair with terminal illness and then a freak accident injury); litterbox scooping (we have automatic boxes); furniture/carpet picking (ironically, the most feral cat is the only one that prefers the scratchers, though none of them are really that bad about it); having to get a pet sitter for weekend trips.[/quote]
