my apartment is gigantic and i feel like it'd be pretty cool to get a cat. i've been tossing around this idea for a while, but i always pussy out (hurrrrrr) because i think i'll be too busy with school/work regardless of if things are heating up/cooling down in terms of my schedule. pretty much you just go to the pound or something, pick one out that's nice, get it the right shots, bring it home, scold it if it pisses on the floor, buy a bed/food/litterbox and make sure it eats and shits in the box right? and the box doesn't stink if you replace the sand or whatever? my only concern is really i don't like cleaning up urine/feces but if the box is able to be contained where i could just put it in a closet thing in my livingroom and change it whenever it's used that'd work for me. it'd be nice having another thing crawling around meowing instead of the dead silence in my giant creepy livingroom at night haha (just no demonic kitties hopefully as that'd be worse).
