Hi all,
We are picking up a beautiful kitten this Friday.
We are new cat owners. Only keep dogs.
What do you recommend I need to buy in?

Kitten is a girl & a Bengal X so she has markings of a Bengal. She will be almost 10 weeks old.
Have seen her with her mum & dad too.
My boys want to call her Poppy as we're picking her up on the 11th.

I feeling a bit anxious about it now!

Litter trays (plural) until she decides where she'd like her facilities and a scratch post to start good habits. The cactus shaped ones are compact and my fussy floofs like them.

and you forgot the tax pic!

Aw, she looks sweet! Prepare for domination.

If she's part bengal you'll need a tall sturdy cat tree. Be prepared for a vocal climber. She's absolutely gorgeous 😍

She is a wee tiny thing bless her.
She'll obviously need cuddles

Well she’s definitely got Bengal ears too.

Bengals aren’t usually recommended for newbie cat owners. They need exercise and adventure and if they don’t get it they can be destructive. They are clever and beautiful, and generally lovely cats but they have needs!
