Are You Financially Prepared for a Cat?
你是否已经具备养猫的经济实力？

If you have children, I know you want to care for them the best way you can, and a new cat will be much like having a new child in the family. This means you need to be prepared for the costs of responsibility for a cat.

Are there children younger than five years old in the home?
你家里是不是有岁数低于五岁的孩子？

Tots usually love kitties, but if you bring a very young kitten into your home you may find them loving it to death--literally. Alternately, the kitten could inflict some painful scratches. You'd be better off either getting an older cat that's been around children, or waiting a couple of years.
一般来说小孩子都很喜欢猫咪，但是如果你家养的还是一只特别年幼的猫仔的话，那你的孩子真的会爱它爱到死。但是小猫仔又会抓伤你年幼的孩子。所以要么你就带一只年龄大一点的猫回家，或者等几年孩子长大一些再养猫仔。

If you're acquiring a new family member (and this is how you should view your new arrival), she will come with responsibilities and their attendant costs. You wouldn't neglect your children's health and neither will you want to neglect kitty's medical needs.
如果你打算迎接一个新的家庭成员，那么你就要为她之后可能带来的一些花费负责。你不会忽视自己孩子的健康问题，那当然也不能忽视自己猫咪的医疗需求。
