so i think i am getting a kitty today. i am kinda nervous cause i never asked my landlord

hehe
someone give me advice. what if she is bad or pees on the carpet or scrathes my furnature? i dont want my apt to smell like cat either....blech!! i have never had a cat before and i dont know how to take care of them really..
btw, this is all my roommates idea to get a kitty. i am excited but i have always had dogs and dont really know a lot about cats.
any good name suggestions too???
