This easy-to-read book tells young readers what they need to know when choosing a cat for a pet.  Responsibilities include caring for the cat every day.  Caring means feeding, cleaning the litter box, and training.  Various breeds are not discussed, but information is given for buying supplies, getting regular checkups, and being a committed cat owner.  Text is simple and full-color photographs are large.  Recommended books are written at a higher reading level.  Glossary and index are included.  Internet sites are also written at a higher reading level than this book, but contain good information about cats and kittens.  Other books in the series are I Want a Dog, I want A Goldfish, and I Want a Hamster.
