You could fall in love with the cat and suffer severe separation issues.

Call your local no-kill and ask if they need any cat socialization volunteers. If (when?) they say yes, you get to play with kittens for free.

16. I saw two humane society kittens today.

I so want to take them home. Then I struggle all night wondering if they would be happy here. Or are they better off somewhere else. I actually find it stressful on the whole. Not relaxing at all to be constantly thinking can I make the commitment to a kitten. So I don‘t know why I always stop in t that store. Except that I love kitties.

7. Try for a 'next door' cat if you can.

We have two.
They drop in, hang out a while, sleep, do their cat thing, then go home.
We don't have to bother with cat food, kitty litter, vet bills, etc.
