Doctor Foxx 06/25/19 3:24:21 AM #10:	Yes... but get two. They like company. Two is easier than one. From my extensive cat experience if I could start again from no cats, I'd get bonded adults.

Theres a brother and sister going for sale though, was thinking of getting the girl only. Cats like vertical space. Give the cats things to climb and perch on and their living area is much bigger. Any animal kept strictly indoors needs their environment tailored and enriched. You don't have to go crazy. If it seems like too much then maybe reconsider the commitment of a pet. I have 3 cats in a 700 sq ft 1 bedroom. It's not ideal, but they are doing just fine with it. It's laid out well with windows and a pretty long way to run.

There's no guarantee that an all white cat will be deaf. And deaf cats are still great cats. Just be aware it's common. For the sun exposure, sunscreen on the ears nose and thinner fur spots if kitty is outside. Shouldn't be as much of a concern fully indoors. UVA still gets through windows.

FatalAccident 06/29/19 2:34:43 AM #29:	Thanks boys n girls. Is there any truth to having to keep the litter tray and food and all her toys in one room for the first few weeks? I'm obvs gonna keep her food tray in the living room, and put her litter tray in my bathroom - it'll always stay open or at least ajar. Should I put everything in its permanent place at the start or have everything in one room first? --- walks away <cite>FatalAccident posted [p:923999884] in I have a 1...

Trialia 07/01/19 10:15:45 AM #47:	Sure you can, so long as it's not a Maine Coon. A 1br upper-floor apartment is fine for a normal-sized cat so long as you're not a hoarder & you're careful about not letting them out onto outside windowsills or balconies. I had an indoor cat for 7 years & she was entirely happy in my previous 1br & current 2br places. She liked to sit on the windowsills inside & watch the world through the glass, but she was scared of traffic so she never wanted to go out there. --- Trialia ~ unfaithful-mirror.net PSN: Trialia_X, Xaedere (100%) \| XBL: trialia, Noquelle (100%) <cite>Trialia posted [p:924092458] in I have a 1...
