Hey, I'm new to this board, but I've always been a fan of this website! Anyways, I am thinking of getting a cat sometime in the next few months. I moved into an apartment about 6 months ago, leaving my dog with my parents who I miss TERRIBLY!!!

I want to do this right. I truly understand the responsibility of having a pet which is why I definitely ruled out having a dog in a small apartment. I've always grown up having dogs, so a cat is new experience for me. I'd most likely get a cat from an animal shelter, and I was wondering if any of you could maybe give me some ideas,suggestions, or anything you think a new cat owner should know. I want to be responsible about this so any information will help!

Thank you!!!
