I own a cat myself, and its great. Cats a re very low maintenance, so you shouldn't worry about much. But here are a list of things that I did for my cat:
1. Potty train the cat, so you do not worry about scooping stuff out of a box. (I use the Citi Kitty to make my kitten use the toilet)

2. Give the cat bathes a lot while he/she is still young, so that the cat will not hate bathes later on

3. Put catwalks in a lot of places. My cat loving loves catwalks

4. Try to use cups that have lids and such, being that the cat will like to play with your drink

5. Get a laser pointer. It is 100% true, that cats love lasers.

6. Show your cat a lot of affection. The move you care for him, the more he will like you.

7. Get a stick, put a 3 foot long piece of string at the end, cut a piece of cloth, and tie it to the end of the string. Kind of like a fishing rod. Then start swinging it in front of the cat.

8. Use the laser pointer, and "fishing rod" often! You do not want a fat cat, that can no longer enjoy the laser, catwalks, or fishing rod!

That's about all the advice I can give. Just let the cat be for a day or 2, so he can get used to your home.

Get two cats so they can take care of themselves and don't annoy you all the time when they're bored.

you prepare for it by making your 23yo sister move out.

here's a number of tips i learned from having my cat Jojo

• cats are elusive creatures. they prowl around and generally forget stuff up, so as a precaution make sure to fasten a jinglebell the size of a kaiser roll to its body so you know at ALL TIMES where the cat is
• every cat fears a different thing. learn it's phobia and use it as a weapon against the beast. does mittens not like the vacuum cleaner? tape a rumba to your most precious belongings. hate dogs? get about 16 french bulldogs
• catnip is known as the "cat cocaine", but that's a common misconception - cocaine is the cat cocaine. seriously those motherforgeters take lines like 70's druglords. great fun all around
• most people advise stroking a cat from head to back, along the fur for maximum comfort - more baloney. stroke that bitch against the grain, put it in it's place! you do not want to be a cat's bitch. 
• lemme reiterate - you do not want to be a cat's bitch. one way to tell if you're a cat's bitch is if you feed it gourmet food. if you find yourself doling out fancy feast to mr whiskers, it's too late for you. feed that forgeter rock hard kibble and make sure he resents you for it
• if she got the cat from a petco or petsmart, make sure to wear a hazmat suit at all time when handling it cus god knows what diseases that thing carries. don't get careless cus those things probably carry the Andromeda strain

Careful with your dogs. Cats are lil stuffs and your huskies will chase it down until they bring it to you dead with the corpse hanging from its neck in her mouth.

Proper training is crucial, especially for cats. You don't want them to expel their waste on your carpet. Without proper training, they will just generally disobey you.

my cat is perfectly trained. i sometimes let her outside the gate. but shes never gone more then about an hour at the most. because she refuses to eat anything thats not in her dish. and she will explode before she stuffs outside of her box. she refuses to go anywhere else.

if i let her out and instantly close the gate she freaks out and tries to get back in right away lol. she always needs that instant path home or she wont go out.

and i got her to stop eating the plants.
man lol. i hit her so so much. but it worked :d
