Toileting CATS ARE REALLY CLEAN ANIMALS- make sure you cat knows where its litter tray is and make sure that it is cleaned out regularly, a smelly tray and your cat won’t want to use it It doesn’t matter what type of kitty litter you use.
Sleeping Cats sleep up to 18 hours a day Provide a bed, basket or box to curl up in. Kittens love warmth so make sure the new bed is cozy and inviting.
A visit to the vet VACCINATIONS- Kittens should have had their first vaccination when they are 6-8weeks, so most kittens will have received their first shot by the time you bring it home. MICROCHIPPING- all animals now have to be mircochipped so if they are lost they can be returned to you. This is a simple injection into the skin.
