Congratulations! Your new cat will be a fun addition to the family, and is a relatively low maintenance pet. You'll want to make sure there is no nonsense when it comes to her litter box and adapting to you and your family's routine. When bringing kitty home for the first time, welcome her in ways that will make her feel comfortable. Consider these easy tips to keep her happy and you'll have an easier time with her care.
- Keep her in one room initially (with litter, food and water) before letting her roam the whole house.
- Create an easy bed by compiling some old bedding in a quiet location.
- Litter supplies you'll want include a roomy litter pan, a rug or tray for outside the box, and a scooper.
- Some cats prefer a hooded litter box and others like a more open pan. Feel free to experiment with your cat.
- Keep the litter box in a place that's convenient, yet out of the way of your family's line of traffic and quiet for kitty.
