If you are getting a kitten, make sure you allow plenty of time to train it. It will pee on the furniture unless you are very diligent in showing it the where the litterbox is kept and making sure the cat goes there right after eating.
I have found it helpful to keep the kitten in a small room (bathroom) for the first week or so when you aren't home. Keep the food, litterbox, toys, bed, etc. in there so it has everything it needs and gets used to what each item is used for. But, you have to be sure to let the kitten out when you are home and spend plenty of time playing with it.
It might be helpful to get a second kitten at the same time. I have found that if you have two cats they like having a playmate and thus tear up less of your stuff. When it is just one cat, left alone, they play (and sometimes ruin) your stuff.
Good luck and let us know how it goes.
