[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cats are great. I love cats. I want to always have cats. But you are right that the litter box is a nuisance, and cats shed and throw up and sometimes don't do their business in the litter box and aren't good for the furniture, and the cat would be another living thing to take care of.[/quote]

All this.  But I would say that cats are far less demanding than dogs, and you already have a dog.  And you might end up with a sweet purring creature who sits in your laps and plays and is generally fun to be around.

You might consider adopting a slightly older cat (like a year old versus a tiny kitten) just so you have some idea of the personality from the get-go.  Try your local Petsmart on a weekend when they do adoptions.  It's all rescue.

I recommend Nature's Miracle for any accidents and a plug in device called "Feliaway" for the initial adjustment period.  You might also consider setting a daily reminder on DH's phone at a good time telling him to go clean the litter box, since he is the one who wants the cat. ;)[/quote]
