So over the years I've had pets from lizards to fish, to dogs, rabbits, hamsters, gerbils and even a caterpillar! I have not yet had a cat.
I have 2 weeks to prepare. It's from a local family and is just a British short hair. I think he's beautiful. I will get him when he is 8 weeks.
I know to register with a vet and get insurance , although an idea of an insurer would be helpful.
I know they dont like plastic dishes.
I know about keeping the litter tray well away from his food. He's to have water not milk?
He will get wormed and vaccinated before I get him.
This is where im stuck. How can you keep cables safe so the kitten doesn't chew on them .
Do ppl buy cat beds or do they just sleep on the couch?
Do you try different makes and flavours of food? Do you use any litter or is it the same kind?
Are there any toys that are particularly good?
I've heard its good to get a good scratching post?
What do you do at night? I have these liittle lights you put on at night so it's never dark. Is that useful at all?
Also what did you do the first few nights. Did the cat stay in it's bed with you checking on it.
? Did you sleep in living room with them? Or did they sleep in your bed?
I'm slightly germ phobic and dont really want the kitten to have accidents in the bed. Elsewhere doesnt matter.
Sorry for going on. I hope I've not sounded extremely stupid.
Any answers to Qs are gratefully received. Feel free to tell me stuff I've forgot too.
Thank you in advance. I think I'll be hanging out in this forum to learn from you all.
