"if she can survive someone not being home all day I could maybe take her...is she a climber? Does she like to break things?"
She's home alone most of the time, as to being a climber or breaking things - I don't think she does that.
My dad says that she's been scratching doorways . . . my guess is that's due to the fact that they don't keep her nails short and that she doesn't have any scratching posts or anything to play with.
I know with Max, I was worried about taking him out of that house, separating him from the other cats and sticking him in an apartment where we were gone all day. He's done WAY better though with us, since he gets better care and more attention being the top cat. I'd assume Jag could probably do the same.
Let me know what you think - there is time and all, but I know you mentioned possibly getting a cat. If you want to meet her, and think about it some more that's cool too. I feel really bad for her - my parents don't seem very good about taking care of animals, they let minor problems go until they blow up (like say, Max's peeing habits that we were able to break).
