So.....we have acquired a kitten. It was dumped in some bins near our house. I've never been a cat person, previously I've had dogs, but I have lots of sympathy and love animals anyway so have been looking after this little kitten for a couple of weeks now and against my initial thoughts (to pass it to a home or rehome with friends) it looks like it might becoming part of our family :).....So I need to ask people in the know - (its about 9-10 weeks old), is there anything particular that I should be doing at a young age that will set this kitten up for life , ie - is a collar a good idea but something that I need to do at an early age? Kitten seems to have taken well to litter tray so far, I was thinking of changing it to one of those boxed in ones to reduce smell as it will be indoor cat for a while (we currently live on very busy road and loads of foxes nearby), is that a good idea? Any other tips that we might need to do at this early age to help kitten along? My friend said keep it off the table by taking it off every time and this has worked (its such an education for me too as I am continually amazed!). Any other training tips?
