Things to think about when bringing home a new kitty/cat

Are your kids pestering you to bring a cat into your lives?  You and your significant other have discussed it and agree that it is a good thing to do.  You have to talk to the kids and explain to them serious of bring in a cat or kitten.  They need to know what responsibilities that they will have.  Responsibilities such as making sure they have food and water.   Depending on the age of your children they may also be responsible for clean the litter box.  Since you brought in this new pet because your kids pestered you to do so, let them know that one of the responsibilities will be to play with the new pet  There are few essentials that you will need to purchase to make sure the cat/kitten make a good move into the family.

One of the items is food.  If you bring in a kitten rather then an adult cat, the food is different.  There are ingredients that may be bad for the kitten versus an adult cat.  Kittens need vitamins and balance between fat and protein for the proper development.

Ok so you have food and water for the new cat/kitten and they are settling into a routine that makes you and your kids happy.  But guess, what accidents will happen.  Also male cats urinate to mark their territory.  The cats/kittens may make a mess because they be nervous [O1] or stressed.  Get a good carpet cleaner and stain remover.[O2] 

The carpets are clean and stain free (ha,ha) let keep the pets happy.  Do you want to spend quality time with them?  Then purchase some toys to entertain them.  This also is a way to give them exercise and objects to play with that are not harmful to them.  Make for good bonding time while playing with pets  

Next let’s look at the environment of the animals.  If you are bringing in a kitten and already have adult animals that go outside,  you need to be prepared to fight disease that may be brought into the house from the adult animals.  The kittens may not have the antibodies to fight off the diseases on their own.

Lastly, the kitten will need a place to call their own.  They are semi social and like to hide when over stimulated. You need to have a bed for them to sleep in so get one with a cover.  I know from experience that they will hide in the closet or under the bed.
