Cat Tips - Having A Cat In The Family |
Basic Supplies
Here's a list of items that will help you and your new kitten get off to a great start:
-Bed or sleeping area
-Water and food bowls
-Toys
-Litter tray and litter
-Cat carrier
-Brushes and combs
-Scratching post
-Kitten Food
-A collar (and I.D. tags)
-BedsProvide a comfortable sleeping area to discourage your kitten from using the furniture.
Check pet stores or make a bed:
Step 1: Find a cardboard box with the sides intact. (A small box is good for a kitten; a larger cat should be able to stretch out while lying down.)
Step 2: Cut out a door opening on one side of the box..
Step 3: Line the box with an old blanket, a small pillow or a cushion covered in a washable fabric..
Step 4: Place box in a warm, quiet spot
Feeding bowls
Each pet in your house should have his or her own food and water bowl.
Choose bowls designed especially for cats - shallow, broad-based metal or ceramic bowls.
Safe Toys
Cat toys, like toys for small children, are wonderful amusements and should be chosen carefully.
Use these tips:
Avoid toys that have sharp edges or parts that your kitten might swallow.
Choose soft toys that bounce erratically (the more bounce, the better).
Beware of balls of wool and toys with strings. Wool or string is dangerous if ingested. Supervise all play with these toysLabels: Cat Tips |
