Are you prepared for adopting a kitten?

Let's start our adventure with getting to know all about cats!

You may want to have a kitten in your house, that is why you are looking for some information. If you are fully convinced that you are able to take care of a kitten, you need to check if your house is properly prepared for bringing home a new friend.

Firstly, you have to take care of safety. There shouldn't be any dangerous objects in the place where kitten is going to stay. Remove all scissors, razors, needles and also pens. Make sure that doors and windows ale closed permanently and that a kitten will not be able to get near to a fireplace.

To make your cat feel comfortable, prepare some places where it will be able to hide. Kittens love to spend time under the bed or couch or behind strategically-placed blankets. Ensure that a cat has a place especially for itself, where its bowl, bed and litter box could be placed.

You also need to go for shopping. Here is a list of what is necessary:

• litter box - try to find a litter box which will be really small and uncovered. It will help you to train your kitten in using it;
• litter -  without any scent;
• bowls - the best bowls are those made of ceramics or glass;
• food - it is good not to change cat's food very often, so it is great to get to know what your kitten used to eat before;
• treats - avoid commercial treats until your kitten gets older; the best treat is some cooked chicken without any bones;
• toys - kittens like to play with toys, but you need to ensure that the toy does not have any small, removable parts. Think about buying an automatic toy, because it is great to keep your kitten active.

Those are the most important things you have to know before adopting a cat. But you also have to remember of giving your kitten a lot of cuddles and love. It will bring you much fun in return!
