The only caveat about adopting adult cats is that you don’t know what sorts of kitty box problems they might have. I’ve been burned by this, as have friends. I much prefer a grown up cat to a kitten, but I’ll put up with a kitten growing up if I can influence proper potty habits. Just a thought.

Thanks for more thoughts everyone, this human is moving at the end of the month… potential fur child/ren to follow. I’ll keep you posted!

**Bert** (my Maine Coon) and I agree with everything written above. Dopers know their cats and ALWAYS give good advice about them.

Don’t “skimp” on the cat litter in an apartment.

D and I buy “The World’s Best” (I THINK that’s what it is called). It is a corn-based litter and REALLY masks the pee odor. $7.98 a bag, though.

We also use a “Litter Robot” which I bought 5 years ago and still works beautifully.

Can’t linky, sorry!

Good luck with your kitty, and yeah, let us know how it goes!
