I love my cat and have always loved cats. I got mine at 5As (the local animal shelter).... she was 4 months old or so. She is over 2 now.
It can be a 20 yr commitment.
My last cat was 14 when he died.... and the last dog we had was 19 when we put him to sleep.

While I'm waiting for Mr. Right I'm getting a cat to keep me company
I got mine a couple of years after my 14 year old cat died... same reason...then almost 2 years later, Ms. Right came along... now she and her 8YO live with me...her son insists that Max (my cat) is "our" cat.... nooooo I tell him.. Max is my cat....but I can share as long as he is around...and the cat likes the boy. .....the 8YO didnt like "my" cat thing until I reminded him that the hamster is his hamster not our hamster.... I won that one...lol...besides...I dont think my fiancee plans on going anywhere....
good luck with the cat...and Mr. Right has to remember the cat was there first. Any guy that can't handle that is not "Mr. Right". heh heh...
