, I have been worried about taking care of a cat. See, like many of us, my depression includes being easily overwhelmed by day to day tasks, and I have been afraid that adding a cat to the household will make things even more overwhelming

James here....

Cats do fine with little fuss. They are very clean
and take care of themselves. Do what I do....
Lots of covered cat boxes, wal mart is cheap, or a platic pan and box with a kitty door works. 2 per cat is good, use more if you need to ! Use the gravity feed food and water despensers, 5 gal.
They hold food and water for a month. I leave water dripping somewhere so they have backup and emergency water if I unexpectally have to be away.
This is a great comfort for me, I got stuck in town with no car but knew Mirabien had all the water she needed, even if she knocked over the water bottle. Buy the biggest bag of dry food you can manage, same for kitty litter, they are cheap at wal mart.

During my depressions my cats decided I was a cat, too. "He has long hair and sleeps alot, must be a cat"
