This is probably kind of a joke...but even so, think hard about it. They're cute kittens for like 6 months, and then they can stick around for 6+...sometimes 16 years.
As far as getting it declawed, don't. For one it's super painful, it's actually amputation. Also the cat won't have any way to defend itself when it escapes from your house. I know they're not supposed to get out but the little [censored] always find a way every few months.
I love my cats. There are real downsides though, as you pointed out. Also I don't think cats are ever as easy and as good as people think they will be. They often scratch up [censored] around your house. If you can get past that sorta thing and accept the bad with the good, then cats are great. But don't think that they're super easy pets at all.
btw, I got one cat at first. He was doing great living on his own. I was home all day though...when I got a day job I felt bad, so I got another cat. Now they both ignore me.
