Question about getting cat.

[bustowithnobra]

Thanks BBV4Lfer's, really appreciate the responses, and I'm going to take another few days to think about it. My apartment is about double the size of a dorm room, and I think it would be really unfair to keep the cat inside too much. I don't live in a city, more like a somewhat busy town, so the only concern would be the German Shepard who lives next door and barks non-stop, and thats basically what it comes down to.
