You don't own a cat like you would a dog, or other types of companion animals. They are uniquely independent. The master/owner relationship enjoyed with dogs is rare with a cat. Though cats may be trained to do things like come when called, or perform tricks or other tasks, a cat owner quickly realizes it is not because they are the masters. Cats could be described as "choosing" to live with you and grace you with their fabulous and fascinating presence.
Before getting a cat, review your lifestyle and any perceived changes in your lifestyle. Consider the members of your family and the impact a cat will have on them, as well as the needs of the cat. Consider things such as age, are their infants or elderly in the household. Also think about health and safety, does anyone suffer from allergies, have problems with their immune system, or have a chronic illness.
