Cats are still work. Just be prepared for litter box and cleaning up after.

I work 40 hours too. The cat will be fine just be sure to build the relationship.

It's fine, especially as you're looking at adopting an adult cat. Tell the shelter what you're looking for, but they should have literally dozens of cats that would be perfectly happy getting in 50 hours a week of quiet napping or grooming time while you're out so long as you spend time with them when you're at home. You could also adopt a pair of cats that enjoy each other's company but it's not a requirement if you'd prefer just one, there are plenty of cats that prefer being the only cat in the household.

Thanks for all the info guys, I think I'll check out the shelter this week and see which cat would fit in best.
