Hello! You are on my channel, thank you for reading it! Every positive comment will warm my heart. The article is subjective and expresses the personal opinion of the author.
You have made an important decision. Very soon, a new family member should appear in the house. Small, fluffy and mustachioed. Kind and affectionate. At first glance, it might seem that you do not need to prepare for the appearance of a kitten in the house. What for? There is food in the fridge and a sofa.
In fact, this is not quite the right approach. Preparing for the appearance of a kitten is the first step on which the happiness and health of the pet will depend, as well as your peace of mind. If you take this step irresponsibly, you can earn a lot of problems. Consider the minimum action you must take.
Prepare items that your future pet will definitely need
Many of these items can be purchased at the pet store. What applies to them?
1. Tray
Choose a tray of light colors, as dark colors scare away cats. The length of the tray should be at least 1.5 of the body length of an adult cat (after all, your kitten will grow up in a few months). It is desirable that he had high sides. So cats feel more comfortable, and the filler for the tray does not wake up on the floor. The tray should be made of material that is odorless.
2. Tray filler
At first, you can miss the choice of filler. It is better to buy a pack of filler with the words "For kittens." Typically, such a filler is a flat pebbles that do not hurt the legs of a kitten and have no unpleasant odor. It is not recommended to purchase silicate filler or filler based on sawdust for kittens. The first has sharp edges, and the second smells sharply.
3. Feed
If you decide to feed the kitten not with natural food, but with cat food, it is better to purchase it in advance. In pet stores special feeds for kittens are sold. As a rule, these are small figures, convenient for chewing by a kitten. Do not forget about cat vitamins :)
4. Scarlet
Many future owners unjustifiably ignore the purchase of this accessory. After all, you need to train a cat to a scratching post from an early age. Otherwise, you run the risk of torn furniture and wallpaper for several years.

- Ill, he will need the help of a veterinarian.
- Will show aggression or fear towards you or other family members.
- Will begin to pick and choose food, requiring expensive feed or meat in its purest form.
