You wouldn't wanna kill me? http://www.furaffinity.net/view/8773656/

i dont WANT to, im just afraid my rampant irresponsibility is going to make me stupid with my precious babies, its an irrational fear mind you, if i dont feed them they will yowl untill they are fed, my biggest worry is that i'll accidentally let them outside were god-knows-what would happen to them if i didnt immediately track them down and retreive them. Im super parinoid about that.

yeh.. its the reason i don't have pets

Don't worry fox im sure you'd be great taking care of your pets and you have all our support in it too!

At our first apartment we had a pet for quite a bit. A dog.

I had the same worries about it, but I think I ended up taking care of it rather nicely.
The only reasons we had to stop having a dog was that we moved in an apartment later that didn't allow for them anymore.

So, don't worry too much about it. I'm certain you'll take good care of them. Plus, based on my own experience owning cats before living in apartment, they're attentions whore enough that I believes you shouldn't have to worry about forgetting about them.
They tend to be good at reminding someone that "their feline lord and master would very much want his food" :P

The most funny is probably when they decide to beg for your attention... by jumping on your desk and over your keyboard to rub themselves against you. I forgot how many times one of my past cats did that.

they're cats, they'll soon tell you if they want something, and drive you nuts in the process. It's not so much cat ownership really, but indentured servitude to a small four legged creature, you'll do fine. =]

The only worry is that they can run away, but I guess they already are somewhat experienced in the ways of the world.

Cats are easy. Feed them, water them, pay them a bit of attention when they deem you worthy of their presence, change the litter. You may as well be worried about killing yourself in the process of making PB&J.

It's an omen Fox, before 2013 you'll be getting married. Muahahahaa!

It's just new pet owner nerves kicking in. Best not spread the word, it shows u care, and we can't have that getting out now can we? ;p
You'll be a fine kitteh mum. As far as them running out you could put up child gates,
That only works til they discover the fun of climbing tho. Could try some plywood or other hard smooth board or material and cut it to fit in your door way to contain then in a room or part of your place. Other than that snack train them. Find a favorite treat that has a distinctive noise so they come running when they hear it.the little pounce treats in the mini milk carton were good for that, just shake and kitties magically appear, or the can opener, my aunt's cats were fiends for canned food and would run up and be lovey any time they heard the can opener.

The fact that you are thinking about this shows you'll be a good parent to your new youngins, so take a breath and enjoy your new fuzzy roomies. You'll be be fine.

they're hardly new or young, they're cats that my parents have been taking care of while i moved out and found my own place my mother was not willing to part with them untill recently. Tigger is almost 10 and Jynxie is 3 still i look forward to having them here i just hope the apartment wont be too small for them.

I know all about worrying too much, just rationalize with yourself the best you can, and talk to your friends about your fears. That always helps me.

you'll pull through fox!! ^^

For piece of mind. If they don't have or can remove collars then get them chipped and take a current picture, moving to new locations is stressful on cats and extra care must be taken until they settle down. There is a pheromone spray that will help calm cats in new environments. Release them at their food, water, and litterbox (preferably ones they had used so it gives them a familiar anchor spot.) Leave the carriers out and open so they have a familiar place to hide until they calm down. Let them come out on their own. Spread their toys around to encourage them to explore. Exception, keep their favorite toy/blanket in the carrier, you want that as a hiding place. Yes, they can climb up into hollow sofas and chairs even when you can't find an opening. I traveled a lot with cats and the only problem was when a friend held the door open to let Phantom out as she was waiting at the door. I had failed to mention, Indoor cats only. Phantom was a new addition at the time and bolted. Tackle a freaked out cat and you get a little bloody. On that note, Keep scratchers available and make sure they use them. You should be fine, If your calm, they should calm down quickly.

Ouch, sounds like it could be anxiety, my mom takes meds for that.

It's not the feeding.......it's not even making sure they don't get out to wander........





It's th' FRIKKEN LITTERBOXES!!!!!!!


(Uh, sorry, we have seven cats, and I'm the main scooper.)

(You'll do just fine, milady.)

If I might make suggestion with regards to cat litter, look up the breeze cat litter system, its less smelly and maintenance intensive.
