Kitten Care: Kitten-Proofing Your Home

Kitten-Proofing Your Home

Getting a new kitten is a joyful experience. Having a new kitten bouncing and playing around your home can be so much fun. Caring for a new kitten can help your children learn responsibility and respect for other creatures.

However, you want to make sure that your new kitten will have a safe experience in your home — remember they are just little babies. They are also full of curiosity and an amazing ability to get into things you never thought they could.

Getting a new cat can be an adventure. Whether a stray tries to adopt you, a friend’s cat has kittens, or you go to an Animal Shelter, like I did, adding a cat to your life will add beauty, fun, and companionship.

When you get a new cat, you will need to get the things a cat needs. Food and the food and water dishes. A litter box and litter. Toys. And especially some cat furniture — a cat tree for climbing, a scratching post for your cat to scratch and “pull claws” on, and a nice safe place for them to rest and sleep — either a cat bed or cat condo. Cats sleep up to two-thirds of the day or more, and they need to feel safe and secure.

Adding a cat to your life will add some inconvenience — vacuuming more for the cat hair — but they add to much beauty and joy to your life, that it’s definitely worth it.
