Get a male cat and make sure to pick one that cuddles up in your arms and falls asleep when you pick it up. A lot of times it seems the runts of the litters are the best pets to have. These animals seem to be more loving and less into destruction than the normal, high strung, feline.
Cat discipline works differently for all cats but some things to consider. Making a sound like a snake scares the crap out of many cats as snakes are a natural enemy of cats. Orange peels also help deter some cats from digging up houseplants and helps keep them off of windows/blinds. I've also used aggressive 3M double sided tape on cardboard and gone as far as tacks poked through cardboard to keep cats away from areas that are easily wrecked by foul play.
Getting a very tall carpeted cat scratching post is always a good idea as cats prefer height in the wild which is why they climb virtually everything in the house. Also, having grass planted indoors in a small pot is beneficial for cats because it helps keep them out of your other plants and eating the grass actually aids in their digestion.
