I’m only allowed cats as pets in my apartment. I like cats. I don’t have patience for a kitten, though.

The local shelter will let me adopt a senior cat (older than 5 years old) without any fees because of my age. If I get a cat, it would be an old lazy one.

I have to say I’m really troubled by the idea it would claw my furniture. I’ve read about the sprays to repel cats that is safe for furniture. Have you used it successfully?

I went on the shelter’s website and looked at the senior cats. There were a few good looking ones.

I want a pet. I don’t want a pet. I don’t know what to do.
