How to be the best owner for your cat

To prepare for the arrival of a pet in the house, conduct a safety check of the apartment and remove all cleaning products, other chemicals and houseplants out of the cat’s reach. Securely cover all areas that the kitten should not enter.

Preparation should include scheduling regular visits to the veterinarian. Also distribute the responsibilities for feeding and “entertaining” the pet, cleaning the cat litter among the household.

Prepare the rest of your pets for meeting a new friend by letting them sniff each other’s belongings before getting to know each other in person.

Purchase the necessary supplies: ID tag, collar, litter box, water and food bowls, grooming tools, scratching post and toys.

Stock up on quality food so that your pet does not starve. Start potty training your new friend as early as possible to avoid unwanted incidents.

Keep your pet’s body and mind occupied with games and toys to save your furniture from his claws.
