πŸ“ Summary

There are many things you must buy for a cat. Here's a rundown of what you need.

1 Overview

Tools:

1. Litter box: open or closed. Open with good litter and regular cleaning has little odor; if very smelly, choose closed.

2. Litter scoop: for cleaning; a hollow hooked plastic scoop recommendedβ€”scoops clumps; usually comes with the box.

3. Food bowl: use a clean ceramic bowl.

4. Water fountain: cats prefer running water and it’s cleaner.

5. Scratching post: a must when claws itch; a cat favorite, saves furniture.

6. Teaser wand: favorite toy; keeps them excited all day.

7. Cat bed: most kittens prefer heights or under beds; don’t overthink it.

8. Nail clippers: trim regularly; only the clear part, not the quick.

9. Cat carrier: for outings; if calm, a canvas bag or carrying works.

10. Cat comb: for massage and detangling.

Consumables:

1. Cat food: choose grain-free natural high-protein by budget.

2. Cans: for weight and nutrition; 2–3 times a week, more causes pickiness.

3. Cat litter: tofu litter recommendedβ€”low dust, less tracking, optional scent.

4. Treats: some strips and freeze-dried for training.

5. Medicine: internal and external dewormers and ear cleaner; reputable brands recommended.
