lynn ahmed, welcome to pet talk. I think that the previous posts have the cat-necessities fairly well covered. Do you have a place for your future furkid to lay next to a window or, in a windowsill, and watch what happens outside? All of mine like to lay in the morning sunlight, when it is shining here, this time of year, in a window. Also, I might add, that some kittens like room to run around once in a while. Will your little apartment be clear of furniture enough for her/him to run inside? Cats like different kinds of toys. You may have to purchase some various toys in order to find what your future furkid likes.

what breed are you considering. May I suggest a Russian Blue? They are very affectionate and loyal. That is if your want a "lap cat" I have two of them in my menagerie, and they are one of the best of the pride for affection. I hope my 2-cents helps.
