"Getting" a cat is accepting a new member in the family. Cats are soooooooooooooooooooooooo cute and loving, and they are VERY good friends; but cats are special and even each cat is special. If you are thinking about shaping a cat to suit your needs, I don't think you are on the way. Get a dog. But if you are able to SHARE with a different animal, ACCEPTING and being accepted, you and your family will develop important values in life.
... Honestly, it will be harder in some months when you'll ask wether to castrate your cat or not :S
Good luck and remember to always respect everyone and everything!
