Moving a kitten (about 3 months) into a Noida flat on Saturday. We've read ten lists and now we're more confused. What do you actually need on day one, and what can wait?
Moving a kitten (about 3 months) into a Noida flat on Saturday. We've read ten lists and now we're more confused. What do you actually need on day one, and what can wait?
Day one, in this order: (1) a litter tray with the litter the shelter or breeder already uses — changing it later is easy, changing it now is stressful; (2) the same food your kitten is eating today, plus two shallow bowls (one for water); (3) a carrier you'll also use for vet visits; (4) one sturdy scratching post and a couple of cheap toys; (5) a warm bed or an old T-shirt that smells of you.
In an apartment, please also check the balcony and windows: net or grill every gap before your kitten explores. Keep the first few days to one quiet room so the kitten can settle, then open up the house slowly. Everything else — cat trees, fountains, fancy beds — can wait until you know your cat's tastes.
