Indoor set-up

If your cat is indoors, then here is the best way to set up it’s area.

first, find a small room that all of the cat’s things are going to be in. I suggest not buying a pen for them, because at night they could jump out and not know how to come back in. You should place it’s bed, water, food, and other things that it has in the small room. Cats already know how to use a litter box, so you just but the litter box wherever your cat can go.

Outdoor Set-Up

If your cat is going to be outdoors, then be prepared for it to bring you mice and birds. I suggest setting up your cat’s place in your garage, because in the morning, you feed it, then open the garage door to let it outside. you still need all of the regular stuff that you would buy for an indoor cat, though. It’s actually nice to have your cat outdoors, because then you don’t have to clean out their litter that much.

Things You Need to Get For Your Cat

If it is your first time having a cat, here is a list of the things you need to buy.

  1. litter box and litter

  2. water bowl

  3. toys

  4. bed

  5. scratching post

  6. wet food (you can find this at Costco)

  7. food bowl

  8. litter scooper

Best Type of Food To Get Your Cat

Do not feed your cat dry food on a regular basis. It is like us having cookies and cake. Instead, chose Friskies. Friskies is a kind of wet food that has fish and meat. you can find Friskies at Costco in the pet section.

What Toys Not To Get

Do not get the toys with long, feather like things. There is a high chance that your cat will eat them. Toys with a mouse tail are fine, but not toys with long tails, or wings. And if your cat does eat them, don’t worry. They will likely barf it out. If they do not and they look bad, consider bringing he/she to the vet.

Where to Find the Best Cat

You want a cuddly and sweet cat. And all cats are unique. Some are scared even though they are one of the cuddliest breeds. Or they might be really cuddly but the least cuddly breed. The key to getting a cuddly and/or sweet cat is getting them when they are a kitten, because if you give kittens lots of love, they will grow up to be sweet and have a strong bond with you. Do not get a cat from the pet store. These cats are usually scared of people because they have not gotten a lot of human interaction, but some of the pet store cats are fine, so just make sure you choose the right one. I suggest looking in one of these websites or places.

  1. Creigslist

  2. Humane Society

  3. A breeder

Foster

If you just want to try to have a cat, but don’t want to be committed to keeping it if you don’t like the experience, then try fostering. Fostering is where you get a cat, but you only get it for a few months. And if you end up loving your cat, then you can adopt it! And, the best part, it’s FREE!!! You still have to pay for the supplies, and pay to adopt it, but if you just want to foster (not adopt) then it’s free.
