There is a possibility that my husband and I will be adopting a cat within the next few days.
I'll post the full story when I have more time, but the short version is that a coworker of my husband's has a 1-year-old cat she wants to adopt out, and she's agreed to let us "cat-sit" for about a week as a trial period, and if all goes well, we will adopt the cat.
Neither my husband nor I have ever had a pet of any sort, and although we both love cats, what we know about taking care of one could fit in a thimble. I don't even know how to lift one without getting clawed at!
She is lending us a litter box, food bowls, and I think a scratching post, and she's giving us a couple of days' supply of food.
The cat has been neutered and has had all his shots, but AFAIK has not been declawed. (ohhh my furniture!)
Any advice?????
