When I was 16 I lived in the UK in a house with a large garden. We got a 3 year old cat from a rescue centre and she lived very happily with us until she died. (Except for a few incidents where she got stuck on the roof.)
I am now in a 5th floor flat in Seoul. We tried having a dog but it was the wrong breed for this environment and we sent him back to his original owner (who loves him very much so that was ok). We're thinking about cats but after the experience with the dog (I don't really like dogs to be honest) I don't want to have a bad experience with another pet and have to rehouse it. It's really not fair on the pet.
So I have some questions. How do you train a kitten to use a litter box and if you get an older cat how do you help it cope with its new environment and help it learn how to use a litter box. In Seoul an older cat is likely to have lived in a flat with its previous owner because few people have houses.
When you take in a new cat in a flat does it tend to slot in easily or does it cause as much chaos as a puppy? I'm being brutal with my questions because I want to know everything that can go wrong.
