I want a cat but I live in a basement flat. There is some outside space but it's mainly concrete and no grass area or whatever. Anyone have experience of a cat in this kind of space? It's big enough I just think I would be dealing with a litter tray or similar and that could get stinky. My mum has a cat that I love, and my upstairs neighbour has a cat even though he has NO outside space. Worth considering?

@plesuvius totally worth it! Around here, cats are nearly always kept as indoor critters. They live longer indoors, anyway. Have a window it could reach to sunbathe?

My friend has a litterbox (omega paw, I think) that rolls to sift the mess into a smaller tray so it's easy to empty daily. Alid helps contain the smell in between. (One cat does hate the lid and uses a plain tray). There are lots of variations on that theme.

If you adopt one, please post pictures! :D
