I've been thinking about getting a cat. I graduated undergrad in December and I'm living with my mom until I either go to grad school in the fall or get a job and can afford to move out. Grad school is unlikely since I only applied to three MFA programs. However, if I did go to grad school, it would mean relocating my new pet and potentially having to find someone to watch him over school breaks if I decided to go home for them. I'm not sure how difficult that would be. I don't know, any thoughts on this? My dog passed away last year and I've been having serious pet withdrawal. I'd love to have a cat companion for my grad school years, but I'm worried about me moving around a bit or possibly needing to leave him behind on breaks.
