as it is
cat doesnt care about the space ) if you take one from shelter that would be better home for her then a small cage )
i had one for 3 month. i cared for her while the catowner a friend had some renovations in his home. complete new balcony for example. there was a big hole in the building, thats why she was with me and after around 2 month, she begun to get some ticks that where really annoying because she was not able to have a nice quiete spot/place as a retreatpoint to get some rest. always near me. i was forced to give her back after 3 month D:
there at the owners place, everything went normal very fast again with her.
thats why i fear to have a cat.
well probably she got ticks somewhere, and actually it's really simple to get her rid of it! there is s collars, drops or sprays that you can use. Usually they helps for 1-2 days, in serious cases (like if you took her from the street) it's 3-4 days
Usually if a cat lives indoor she would never get ticks.
