Hello how may I help you? I am thinking of getting a cat. Great! They make great pets. What can I help you with/ ? I have a small apartment and I want to know how much space a cat requires? A cat doesn't need much space, as long as they have space to play. Maybe 1000 square feet. I only have 200 square feet. That may be too small for a cat. You can always consider a bigger apartment oh no. I am so lonely I thought a cat would help. I am sorry, You can always get a pet fish! Thanks. No problem!
