We went to look at some rescue cats and ended up bringing one home that day. Gorgeous 11 month boy, he and his mum had been abandoned on an industrial estate when he was a kitten. He's been fed by some workers there and was going into their office for fuss and cuddles so they thought he deserved a proper home.
Obviously he's now gone into hiding and hissing if we approach him... but he's sneaking out at night to use his litter tray and explore a bit, and he's had a little to eat.
He'll purr if I sit near him and talk to him, and if I have time to sit there long enough he will shuffle forward for a little nuzzle.
Yesterday he then rolled over and tried to claw and bite my hand ... in a kitteny rather than aggressive way, but I am being more cautious now
Apart from just generally wanting to tell everyone about his fluffy cuteness, my question was going to be what do we need to get?
He has his old bed, we got a carrier and a litter tray, food bowls and food/litter and that's it.
I was wondering about a scratching post/cat tree type thing, are they just a nice idea that he'll probably ignore?
Do I need anything else?
