An overweight cat is more likely to have health problems. A longhaired cat will give you fur problems. A black cat will destroy your soul. Tough choice ... (;-)
I still have to get the litter box, litter, and foods for whichever, but I’ve pretty much decided on the black one. The white one is pretty and charming, but I don’t want white hair all over everything all the time.
Anyway, I doubt I can afford to get it on payday, as I will need to get the things it needs, before I get the cat. They have all been there at least two months, so I don’t think someone will adopt them any too soon.
