Hi Kylie, how are you? I am so excited for you, cats are the best pets I got Dylan from a pet store, something that I would not advocate because I don't think cats or dogs should be sold from pet stores but that's just me, so please excuse my soap~boxing, I took Dylan because he was the only one left and because the owner of the shop told me that 'the white one was giving him nothing but trouble' I grew up with cats, and if a cat knows its safe, the trust builds quickly, with Dylan it took ages and he attached himself to me more than my husband at the time. We got Quinn from a neighbour of my Mum's, Quinn was just happy she was getting attention and love , anyway I am waffling on, don't go by anything I say hen because when you have the cat, it all changes.
Dylan had to be trained to go to the litter box, every so often, I would carry him and put in the litter box, so he knew the location, Quinn didn't because like Jamie, her Mum had taken her to the litter box.
I wouldn't leave a cat in the one room for one day because you would have to move the litter box, therefore confusing them, as long as they have plenty of toys, access to a window, plenty of food, they are happy, are you planning to let your cat out or will he/she been a house cat?
Getting a cat from RSPCA is a good idea (they need more people like you) there is a lot of cats out there in need of homes, if we ever get another cat, we will go to the RSPCA or the Cats Protection League (I think that is their name). I am sorry for waffling on Kylie and I hope some of this was helpful, my best advice is, remember your are the cat's pet not the other way around
Oh Jamie is adorable Univerze, I love the one of him on the bed, they just plant themselves anywhere, Quinn does it all the time especially after I have just made the bed and gives me a look that says 'I dare you to move me' (but I never do)
