Welcome to Gaia! ::

what is princess?

also what is your living situation? how much extra money do you have each month? do you work or go to school and if so for how long each day?

Ooh, Princess! 4laugh
Adorable! How old is she?

Well, since there is always someone at home, and money is not an issue. Do the others want a kitty as well? And are they willing to look after it when you're gone?

But it all depends on the kitty and on you

Pro's
- Don't requite much care
- are cleaner (beside all the hair)
- They don't smell (if they are fixed)
- A great companion!
- Simply adorable
- No need to walk it (with some cats you can tho)
- lower blood pressure, boost immunity, reduce anxiety,
- Eats bugs
- Small > Less expensive
- Can be left alone at home

Cons
- HAIR, HAIR, HAIR, HAIR
- Scratching on furniture/wallpapers/anything ( PLEASE, TAKE A SCRATCHING POST)
- Hairballs / throwing up
- Changing the litter box
- Litter grit all over the floor
- Brushing > Hairballs
- Jumping on high things. (Tables, kitchen, etc) And eventually knock things over.
- Nibbling on your favorite plants
- They do need attention.
- Need to be fixed. Unless you want to breed. If not - Be prepared.
- Cats may chew shoestrings, cords, blind cords, you name it.
- They can get fleas for no good reason then you have to try to kill them and keep them dead.
- Might come home with a dead mouse/bird/rodent
Did I miss anything?

Make sure to make your house cat-proof! And be early to teach the little hairball some things he shouldn't do. Scratching the furniture, etc.

Having Princess shouldn't be such a big problem. But it can be.

It depends on how Princess is around newcomers. She's much bigger than a cat, but kittens can easily adapt.

Jackson Galaxy (cat behaviorist) helped a woman once who was allergic for a cat as well. By washing the cat (yes, in bath/shower) the allergies should become less worse. And most people are allergic to something that is in the 'spit' of the cat and on it's skin. Only solution for this is to wash the cat daily.

Or you could consider a hairless cat. And I've read something about a hypoallergenic cat.

How bad are your allergies for the cat/

And that looks like a Persian cat. But if you want a long haired Siamese > Balinese.

They have a lot of mixed breeds there. 3nodding
