Help for a new cat owner!

[TiddleTaddleTat]

I had 2 cats as a child that lived to a grand old age (20 and 18) and were a much loved part of the family. After years of renting and not being able to have pets we have just had the call to say we can take two beautiful 1 year old brothers.
Excited!! And bamboozled.
On my list to get hold of in the next week:

• 2 litter trays
• food and water bowls (I'm guessing one each is right?)
• food - apparently they are both eating 2 pouches a day plus biscuits as and when. Their food has varied because of donations etc. Can anyone suggest budget friendly places to get hold of good cat food? I don't like the packaging on the pouches, is it possible to get the same thing in a recyclable tin ?
• scratching post if budget allows

Eek! So excited and daunted!!

New plan, don’t let them in. Let dh crack first when their doing the “woe is me, I’ll die out on here on the landing” mew.

Nothing wrong with a scratch post in the bedroom or a flat cardboard scratch pad.

@Fluffycloudland77 haha that might just work! He's such a softie but pretends he isn't...

Placemarking! Our cats are coming home soon!
