We are adopting 2 cats this week, they are 3 and 4, Turkish Angoras and have been living together. Being rehomed for a genuine reason and we have already had a home visit which went really well. They have always been house cats and will continue to be. Just back from Pets at Home where I spent an absolute fortune but I have so many questions!
Food - owner has told me what they currently eat which is Felix wet food and Go Cat dry food. I'm aware these aren't high quality but I think it's best to keep them on these at least until they settle in. Owner said they get half a wet pouch each in the morning and another half pouch in the evening and dry food down constantly. Cats look in great shape, not underweight but when I bought the Felix it says up to 3 pouches a day? Is this just to get you to buy more? When cats came for a visit they took a dreamie treat but didn't seem overly hungry so should I stick to the half pouch as advised?
Litter tray - I have bought 2, one large covered and one smaller uncovered. I have bought the same litter they currently use, if I poop scoop as soon as I see them, will the litter tray last a week before it needs emptying and cleaning and replacing? I have also put puppy pads around the trays but hopefully the cats will use the trays from the start. I have also bought a cleaning spray for any cat pee accidents.
Haven't bought cat beds although did buy blankets. Should I get some cat beds or just wait and see what they prefer once they settle in?
Bought a few toys and have flat cardboard cat scratchers in order, again what they had at their previous home.
And I have purchased Feliway and it's plugged in hopefully doing its job for their arrival!
Is there anything I have missed or not thought of?
And I promise to post pictures as soon as they arrive!
