What Is New Pussy Cat?

Is your home right for a kitten? If you rent, always check with your landlord whether you are allowed to keep a cat. Also think about the location of your home, is it near a busy road? If so, this is not the ideal home, however, it does not rule out a cat, instead opt for an older cat, prone to staying indoors, safe from heavy traffic.

Before Your Kitten Arrives
Get your family home ready for the new arrival – carry out a simple kitten rehoming health check – look for potential dangers and remedy where you can. Loose blinds, curtains and cables should all be secured and flowers or plants which could be poisonous to cats should be removed to avoid kitten contact.
In addition to making your home safe, look to make your home welcoming – draw up a kitten checklist of items you will need to buy. Among the items to buy is a good-quality cat carrier which you will be able to use to pick up your new furry friend and a calming
diffuser which can be plugged in at your home.
If you are new to animal husbandry it is important to do some research – buy a book or use online material. In addition, be sure to look into local veterinary practices, the health treatments they can provide and microchipping services – do not forget to put good-quality pet insurance in place for unforeseen costs.

When Your Kitten Arrives
When you collect your new kitten, make sure that you have your cat travel case ready in your car so that you can transport your new puss in a safe and secure manner.
Kittens naturally love to explore, however, try to keep a kitten to one room at a time so that it is not overwhelmed – give them a smaller and more intimate base.
If you have small children, it is likely they will want to pet the new arrival into the family home, however, be sure to supervise their handling and encourage gentle play.
