Read "Adopting a pet? Ask yourself these questions first" on NBC News.

I was so delighted that Cat in the Box was featured in an NBC News article about adopting a pet. The article covered the 10 questions you should ask yourself before bringing a new "fur baby" to his or her "furever" home. Author Nicole Spector asked me to comment on how adding a pet to the home will affect your lifestyle, about how to integrate the new pet into your family (and what should be expected of the children in the family) and about the long-term commitment pet ownership demands.
