Getting a cat. Help me out

You should consider that a cat will make your house smell and they like doing there business in your neighbours garden. They will also bring home the odd dead or alive mouse and bird and like others have said get insurance, Vets really know how to charge. eg. £100 to put my Rabbit to sleep :(
 
As other posters have said, go and visit a rescue centre. All animals are vaccinated and have also been spayed/castrated.

Also consider where you would put a cat flap, the cat's bedding and the food/water bowls.

Is there someone in the house at reasonable times or do you both work long hours?
Do you have friends or family that can feed the cat when you go on holiday?
 
To answer most replies (thanks for them) in one post. We're in a position to look after a pride of lions if we wanted to. Ample backgarden space, no cars or and other traffic and pet insurance on day one. Most of all, heaps of attention. If I do get a cat, it will most certainly be from a rescue center and I will get two, to keep themselves company.

If we do go away, my mother will be round a few times a day to feed them and show a human face. All in all, I've been around cats my whole life and have a pretty good idea what to expect.
