New to the Cat forum..

Thanks everyone. Do not worry, I would not even think about getting a cat until I had somewhere to live, and already moved in!! I need to be set and comfortable so the new cat would feel much more welcomed!!
I wouldn't adopt a kitten for the facts that were stated, but you enforced it. I am now set in adopting a cat around the ages you recommend.
Thank you again, and I will let you know what the verdict is! I hope that it works out, and that there are apartments willing to let me have a cat!!

If you end up having room mates with you, make sure they are super responsible. I've seen some very sad outcomes from college kids (and others) whose roommates didn't follow instructions, left window screen and windows open, front door ajar... just never thinking,... and the cats got out and some were never found, and some were hit on the road.
