Possibly a new addition to the household?

I'm seriously contemplating getting a cat. I will most probably adopt so I'm going to visit a shelter or two to see what it's like and go on from there. I figure if I don't actually get one, maybe I'll volunteer at a shelter. I did it once in college and I liked playing with the dogs and cats there. I've had pets growing up and I'd really like something fuzzy around the house. Anyhow, we'll see what happens.
