Ask yourself a number of important questions: ‘What do I expect from this would-be house companion? How do I mean to keep it? Shall I be able to devote sufficient time to the animal? Am I prepared to muster the energy necessary daily to care for the animal and train it? Can I provide it with a suitable environment?’
In most cases it is not enough to want to provide the kitten with ‘a beautiful life’; from the outset it is essential to realize that a cat normally has a life-span of only 12-15 years (though cats have been known, exceptionally, to live as long as 20 years, and ever longer). You must be ready to care for it throughout its life and prepared for the sad day, which inevitably will come, when you have to take leave of your faithful pet.
