Adopting a cat is a great idea! If you are afraid that the cat is
going to be lonely, then perhaps a playmate (another cat) would be a
good idea. If you do not want two cats, then I would see how it
goes. Try having the cat by itself for a while and see if the feline
shows any signs of depression. All cats are different and react
differently in situations. As far as cat health, food, litter box
material, and other things such as toys, I found a great book that
answers so many questions and has great advice on raising a happy
healthy cat. check it out on www.catbehaviorsecrets.com
GOOD LUCK with your future feline friend!!!!!!
