What to Prepare When You Bring a Cat Home
Bringing a cat home means stocking up on a few essentials first. You'll need a litter box (open or semi-enclosed) with tofu litter and a scoop, plus ceramic or stainless steel food and water bowls and at least two water stations. For food, a quality dry kibble, occasional boiled chicken or beef, and a weekly wet-food meal cover the basics, with treats kept to a minimum. Scratching posts and teaser toys keep your cat active and protect your furniture, while nail clippers, cat-safe shampoo, a carrier, and a pet disinfectant handle grooming and outings. Finally, hairball remedies and a regular parasite-control plan keep your new companion healthy.
