Don't become a cat lady man.Cats aren't as high maintenance as dogs. If you plan well, you can still do things like go on vacations and such, without a big problem.
Getting any pet is the end of your independence, think carefully man.
Plan on getting it sprayed? Sucks waking up in the middle of the night hearing your cat moaning. So either buy one sprayed, get it done immediately after purchase, or invest in q-tips

Billy Rygar owns cats and did MAF--pours one out. He should be able to provide good advice.
I have 2 cats and a dog. One cat is slightly psychotic, the other is the sweetest cat in the world. The main thing to think about is whether the cat will be an indoor or outdoor cat. If you want an indoor cat it might help to adopt a kitten, if you adopt an adult cat who was an outdoor cat and they can't go out anymore they'll be pissed.
Thank god you don't have a Persian. I'd love a Maine coon or Siberian but...long hair, babe.
The fact that Persians are the most popular cat confuses me.
What's great about siberians?
Get a dog.

at least the most popular dog breed, the labrador retriever, is a nice looking dog.

ugly, ugly, ugly.
i think there are still a lot of people who actually believe the persian is a "luxurious" cat to own.What's great about siberians?
siberians have a great demeanor. we got the chance to get to know a whole mess of siberians through yoshi's breeder (they have 7 of them alone). they are super friendly yet really chill and not afraid of strangers. kind of like most dogs, they just really love people and they love to be shown attention and affection. they're also really adorable cats with very expressive faces. when yoshi is feeling a certain way i can see it in his expression (our other cat, minu, is mostly expressionless).
we were skeptical about getting a purebred cat until we saw an ad with yoshi's pictures and made an appointment to go and see the breeders' place. just getting to know yoshi and the other cats, his father and mother, brothers and sisters, convinced us that the siberian was the right cat for us. they are just amazingly loveable cats.
don't forget that you still have to feed it in two weeks when you are bored with it and moving on to your next revolutionary idea. you can't just drop a cat like islam
find a video of one making a lot of noise
put it on repeat for 24 hours
omfg I want a siberian so muchhhhhhhhhhhhhh. damn you cloud!!!!!!!
but adopting one can be really hard because they're purebred! :'( :'( :'(
Pets are money drain.
Waste your money on something better, like vidya games.
how do you deal with shedding?
exactly. cats are known SO replacements for lonely people. DON'T DO IT HIMU
Sweet, I'm gonna get one now too then. Gonna name it something manly, like Atticus.

Himu, you're really overthinking this endeavor. Head down to the shelter and check out the cats, find one you like and bring it home. Buy it a bed, get a litterbox and some food and water. BAM. Instant cat awesomeness.
