If you’re bringing home your first cat, you should prepare your home well-ahead of time. You should also buy all cat essentials beforehand so there will be less hassles during the big day, that is, the arrival of the newest addition to your household. Always remember that the first few days is very critical to your new pet’s transition to his new home. Being away from his mother and siblings can be very frightening and he will need a great deal of adjustment as he tries to conquer his fear of the strange and unfamiliar in his new environment. By ‘catifying’ your home, you create an environment that is safe and less stressful to your new furball. So what does ‘catifying’ your home include?
Allocate a room where your new kitty will stay during the first few weeks of the transition period. All the essentials–food and water bowls, kitty bed, litter box, toys, etc.– should already be inside the room before the kitty arrives. If you have other pets, the room where the new cat is staying should be off limits to them.
