How much room does a cat (well, pair of cats) need?

I've been in the army the past decade, so it's only now that I'll be settling around Colorado that pets will even be an option since deployments are less likely instead of a certainty. The apartments I'll be moving into allow cats and dogs but they are designed with Single Soldiers in mind.

The cats I grew up with were generally outdoorsy, spending more time inside as they get older but this was in a quiet neighborhood in the suburbs-having cats in a small apartment with people all over outside is going to be another thing entirely. Are they going to get cabin fever?

I'm hoping to rescue a bonded pair/littermates. I had little luck with rescued cats compared to cats I raised from kittens, but it's probably the best way to go when I commit.

what's the general idea with clicker training? can I use it to stop kitten from running up to us and biting, or getting on the kitchen counter when we are cooking?
IIRC, it's paired with treats and exclusively for positive reinforcement, because you want them to associate the noise with them doing something right.
