[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't do it.  Cat hair, territorial issues (i.e. peeing on your furniture or rugs or in your shoes/purses), clawing/scratching, litter boxes. No matter how clean you are, you are always going to have cat hair floating around or stuck to your pants and coat, plus you'll always be crunching on little bits of litter underfoot. Don't get me wrong, I love cats and grew up with them, but if you're not interesting in making your life more complicated, then don't add another pet to the mix (unless it's a goldfish!). [/quote]

This.  I grew up with cats but will never get one as an adult.  Cat allergies that only got worse and worse the older I got.  Same for DH who grew up with cats.  If you never had cats, people can develop allergies that only increase with exposure.  At this point we cannot live with a cat in our house.  Our kid wants a cat but I tell him even if he's not allergic now, his chance of developing a severe cat allergy is high with both parents like this.

Even if DH and I weren't allergic, I probably wouldn't get one.  I like having a fur free home and not having to clean up the smelly cat litter.

Don't do it![/quote]
