Looking for a little friend

After a bit of thought I have decided that when I move I want a cat. Now, the tough part about this is the fact that my mom is allergic to cats. But she gave me the go ahead to get one.

But I don't want it to cause problems for her. She won't be able to stay in my apartment for long if I get one, and I'll have to be meticulously careful about having cat hair on my clothes. I tried to think of other options for a little friend to have in my apartment. But none seem to be as good an idea as a cat.

I would love a dog, but they're a.) expensive b.) require a lot of attention and c.) I've never had one before so I don't know what would go into their training/care.

A bird isn't as ... cuddly. Bunnies and hamsters tend to smell and can be sort of boring. A bird would be an OK option, but I want something that I can cuddle with and will keep me company.

So a cat seems to be the best option. They are independent, cuddly, cute and probably not extremely hard to take care of.

Cat lovers/owners, what do you think? Are cats pretty hassle free pets? Also, where is the best place to get a cat?

I mean, look at how cute!

At the risk of sounding like an old blogging cat lady, I love having my kitten around. Aaron's schedule is unpredictable, and Liv's presence is so nice. She is tiny, so she doesn't cost a lot to feed, and since she was a shelter kitten, she was spayed and had her necessary shots provided. I'm confident that adopting her is the best decision I've made!
