I am Maria, I don't answer inbox questions (with very few exceptions, for example those people that use proper grammar and spelling). I try my best to point people in the right direction when I am answering questions.

Please tell me everything you can to help me out. I've read a lot about them but learning from books and from other owners is totally different. Like how often should I feed him and how much etc. THANK YOU!!

Well, it really depends on the age of the cat, its size, breed, etc. I suggest adopting (not buying, there are many homeless kitties out there) a kitten, or a sweet adult cat. When picking out the cat, ask for its history: the medical history, past ownership history (why they're putting up the cat for adoption), its age, breed, personality, etc. Make sure the cat is healthy: watch out for goopy eyes, noses and ears, any scabs, dullness of the coat, things like that. Ask whoever you are adopting from what they are feeding the cat, how much, how often. Buy a small supply of whatever that is, then schedule an appointment with a veterinarian so it can be examined to check for any problems. The vet should also suggest a proper diet for your new kitty, because whatever it was fed before may not be as good for it. The vet or any of the techs should answer any other questions you may have.
