Please don't declaw your cat. If you decide that you cannot have a cat unless it's declawed, then don't get a cat. Even if you plan to keep it indoors, you're pretty much cutting off part of their finger. I have two adult cats in a 750 square foot apartment. Just get a cat tower and a scratching post like this, and your cat won't scratch up your furniture as long as you train them what's OK to scratch and whats not. Don't. Declaw.
Cats are pretty low maintenance and inexpensive. I would recommend avoiding clay based litters, as those tend to kick up a lot of dust when pouring and when the cat is scratching around in it, and it's bad to breathe in for both you and the cat. Food can be pricey if you want to get what's best, but it's still pretty cheap when compared to a dog. I spend $30 on a big bag of blue diamond that lasts for about 6 weeks for two adult cats. I get a pellet based litter that also uses a pad for urine and it costs about another $20 every 6 weeks.
So other than the upfront costs of getting the cat its shots and buying those toys/scratch posts, cats are pretty cheap.
As for gender, it does not matter so much. Cats each have their own personality and it really just depends. Males sometimes have issues with spraying, but if you get them fixed early on it's almost always not a problem. I would do some research on different cat breeds, as they each have their own traits that tend to run through the breed that affect their personality.
I adopted both my cats. My older one was 5 when I got him and fully declawed in all four paws. I wish he wasn't.
I got my other cat at 8 weeks and decided not to declaw her. It's been fine. She loves this kind of scratcher so much that I didn't even have to train her on it. The only issues I've had are some scratches on my hands when I play with her or when she rides around on my back (as she loves to do...in fact she's sitting there now) and she's taken to using one of my dressers as a scratching board. But, frankly, that's my fault because I don't mind either the scratches or the damage the dresser, so I don't trim her claws and I haven't trained her not to use the dresser. And any scratches on me are accidental--she does truly seem to try to avoid scratching me. She knows that no (thick) clothing on my back means she has to retract her claws while she rides around, otherwise she loses back-riding privileges.
Also, when I did care about trimming her claws it was super easy. Just get her used to being trimmed young and she'll probably be totally fine with it.
Additionally, I feel better knowing she has claws in case she ever accidentally gets outside (knock on wood). I don't want to leave my cats defenseless.
As for the kids, at some point they need to learn that some cats have claws. I mean, obviously try not to let her scratch, but explain to them that she's pointy and she can accidentally hurt them. I don't think that's unreasonable, especially if we're not talking about kids that live with you.
Ninja edit: Also, there are sooo many alternatives to declawing these days. Claw caps, different trimming systems, etc. It just seems unnecessary.
Oh wow. I'm so sorry for your loss. What a beautiful way to look at it. A celebration that you two had each other in your lives. Pets are the best things ever.
My cat Weasley would love this scratch board

CRICKET!
How about Bobby?
The guy who voices baby Bambi was named Bobby Stewart. And "Bobby and Bambi" has a cute ring to it.
I also really like Eddie because of Fraiser's Dad's Dog Eddie
Ten dollar item! Sorry it's just above 10.
just above five dollar kitty item!Again, sorry it's a little over!
All 6 of my cats love these :
my kittens go crazy for these mylar balls.
We have 2 cat trees near a big window with a bird feeder outside in view...it keeps our two 6 month old kittens entertained for hours. I would recommend a cat tree, or a window perch of some sort. :)
Apples don't make great pets.
This is for my cat!
Winter is coming D:
I already love you because of your username, which I always read as accio-corinne (hp related is my assumption but i could be wrong) and then I went and looked at your wishlist and I'm enamored with you. Rittersport??? and cat toys???? and all this other awesome stuff? Yes please.
Anyways, I think your wishlist was definitely lacking is this awesome cat scratcher I know my kitty likes to scratch furniture and I think every cat owner needs one :)
Thanks for the contest!
I really need a cat scratching post. We just got a new leather couch that I'm worried my cat will scratch up. I want to give him plenty of other places to do that. :P
this is what i want for my kitties.
and this is so super cool

Sasha is adorable!
I love my pet. All of them. Even the foster babies. I think they would enjoy a scratcher. They've certainly had a blast using my legs! Thank you for the contest :)
Ohhhh this cat scratcher would be amazing--my cat would just love it :) It's on my kitty wishlist. Glitter :)
So, I've always been a dog person. But about a year ago, my boyfriend convinced me that we should get a kitty. Although she destroys everything, I still love her!
Here is Taarna (Bonus points if you know where that name is from!)
I honestly still don't know much about kitties, but I think she would like this or this. If anyone knows something their cat loves, please share! :p
Double-sided sticky tape on the blinds where she can reach (temporary). Rub delicious foods or catnip on the scratching post, and scatter treats on and around them. You should have MULTIPLE posts out for them- tall ones, "loungers", wide ones. What kind of scratching posts do you have right now? We have a mixture of the cardboard ones and rope and one of these carpet ones and our cat prefers the rope and mostly ignores the cardboard, but other people swear by the other kinds, so I think some cats just have a preference. This cat house is my cat's FAVORITE thing to claw on, but she also likes her lounger which can be easily mounted to the wall instead of we wanted to switch things up.
Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole.
I'm very sorry to hear about your baby. I went through something similar a few years ago. My standard poodle, Abner, was my first pet. We adopted him from the humane society and he was awesome, though a tad neurotic.We then adopted Nellie, another standard poodle who was similar to Abner but very hyper. We all grew up together and bonded and they saw me through so much, my parents divorce, my adopted brother coming home, moving multiple times, and the death of my great grandmother. No matter what happened, they were always there. Abner got old, and by the time he was 16 we decided he had to be put down. He was just getting too old and really had an issue moving around and living like we had wanted him to live. It was one of the hardest days of my life. Exactly one week later Nellie suddenly passed away. We found her vomiting blood and immediately took her to the vet. There were xrays and blood samples taken and the vet determined that she had eaten a string and perforated her intestines. There was nothing she could do. So we had to put her down as well. Losing two of my babies in a one week span was the most horrible thing I have ever had to go through.
I now have two dogs and two cats. Millie is a one year old boxer and drives me crazy on a daily basis. But I love her all the same. Sandy is a goldendoodle and my love. She is so calm and collected and seems to know exactly what your saying at all times. I call her my noodle. Malachy is a two year old Maine Coon Cat and also drives me crazy. She constantly knocks things over on my desk and scratches at my door. But again, I love her anyway and she always is there to cuddle with me when I need it. Moxie is my big baby. He is my first ever cat and litereally the cuddliest cat I have ever met. We adopted him from the same humane society where we adopted Abner. I also now volunteer there. He sleeps on my chest every night and is a bed hog. He has huge double paws and can't retract his claws so he clicks when he walks across the floor. I adore all of them.
My cats would really love this but because it's on the higher side of the price spectrum, they would also like this. Either one would provide a nice replacement to their now almost ripped to shreds scratcher. They love to play!!
My favorite pictures are the one her as a puppy, and one of her playing in the snow. It shows her at two different periods in her life, and having both of those pictures would provide a nice balance. Thank you for the lovely contest and I wish you nothing but the best. :]
I really really love the adorable puppy and favorite adventure day pictures!
This is my kitty, Akuma Prometheus Butters Caruso Zucati on the way back from the vet. I gave up on the carrier and just let him hang out on my shoulder (I wasn't driving!)
We are moving soon and Mr. Kitters would love a new scratcher
Reading this made me cry!! I am so sorry for your loss!!! :( :( hugs hugs hugs hugs!
I'd pick the first photo (so cute) & the trip to the groomer. Love the bows awe! ❤
These are the Pictures of my kitties.
We had to put down our family cat, Noiro last year on March 6th. It was very heartbreaking as we had him for almost 15yrs.
I lost my own first pet, Coco on April 10th 2010. Since he was the first I had of my own & first to pass away (I gotten him when I worked at the pet store and he was around 5yrs old and very aggressive but we bonded lol).
I still cry over them sometimes. =/
Kitties would love this because they love scratching ... a lot. I know they'll enjoy the cardboard feel too, it'd be different from their cat posts carpet. (:
Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole. This is so so so true...well for animals. I've never had a dog yet. I want to wait till I have my own place because it's way more difficult to move around in rentals that allows dogs and I refuse to ever give up a pet so it's easier to not get a dog till I can 100% know I can keep it for their whole life. (:
So sorry you had to let her go. :( It's never easy, and my heart goes out to you. I will give Polly an extra cuddle for you. <3 I love that you are choosing to do something so selfless in her memory!
