You must be mentally prepared and ask yourself, will you be able to bear it. Then decide whether to take the cat home. Here are some issues which must be considered.
Is your cat compatible with pets you already have?
Although cats are docile, they still belong to the same species as lions and tigers. Even cute kittens have more or less predatory nature in their blood. If there are other pet fish, pet birds, and pet mice in the home, the cats will treat them as prey to some extent.
Hence, before adding a new family member into your house, you should consider if it is safe for both your cat and your other pets to live together under the same roof. If you believe that you can make it work, then you should arrange the pets in appropriate locations beforehand.
Cats are very afraid of loneliness
Although cats may seem indifferent at times, they actually need the care and love of their owners. Therefore, if the owner ignores the cat in the house for a long time, it is likely to show some ‘needy’ behaviour to grab your attention.
When you are raising a pet, you must determine whether you have enough time to accompany them and establish relationships. If you cannot stay at home for a long time because of work, then you should give up the idea of ​​keeping pets.

Cleaning, cleaning and…. more cleaning
Cats love to be clean, yet at the same time they can also make the house really messy. If you are considering of getting a cat, you must be able to tolerate the mess they make and be prepared to clean the house constantly.
Cats do their businesses in the litter box, but when the litter box becomes too dirty or is not what they want, they may start to do it in other places, this can cause the owner to clean more than they usually needed. To prevent this, owners should always clean the litter box regularly, so this makes it easier for both the owner and the cat.
