Easy, right?

I mean, if you get a kitten, you're looking at a 15-20 year commitment. I once had one of my cats live to be 27! And what happens if they don't like your other pets? Or your kids? Even worse, what if they stop using their litter box? And how often do cats even need to go to the vet, anyway? Even for impulsive people like myself, you have to at least put a little bit of thought into it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat's where this book comes in. It's a comprehensive guide to all things cat adoption. If you don't know where to start, this is a good place. If you've just brought your new kitty home and have questions, we'll cover that too.
