None ever eat wet food nor sound like crickets when they spot a bird

Ekekekekekekekekek!!

Uh?

the noise they make when they see a bird is known as "ekekeke" x3

Ekkkkkkk😂😂😂

One of the best bits of advice is to make sure they have something to claw (scratching post, scratching boards,etc) or else it's your furniture they'll go after. It's not they're fault really, they have to claw - its second nature to them. So it's good to give them something that is appropriate to scratch up.
Cats also like to mirror their owners: if you're on your computer they wanna lay on it sort of thing. That's actually a sign of affection!
I've also heard you should have one litter box per cat plus one. One cat equals two litter boxes, two cats is three, and so one.

Other than that, cats are super great pets! You can probably look up Jackson Galaxy from 'My Cat From Hell' (he's a cat specialist who helps people with pretty common cat issues) for some of his advice for cats!

Awhh man the whole thing about them mirroring just warms my heart ;u; I'll be at home with the cat mostly all day everyday so after awhile I guess they'll just be a mini me xD They just seem like such great companions 💛

Oh I'll definitely check him out! Thanks so much for the tips c':

*Get scratch post or they will scratch everything.. (IF it's not using, just show them like get their paws and make it scratch that 😌)
*don't get wet food
*Dont bath them too often; sometimes their fur are sensitive and thinner
*Lotion on their paw pads once of week or month.
*comb that have lil rubber through the comb (best for rid the shed fur).
*Don't give them broccoli it's making them sick.

Look out of cat litter because sometimes it's hurting their paws. I had to replace cat litter because she poop in tub, soon I realized that her paws pad is super dry and skin off, since she used be stray kitty.

If you planning to get plant, be sure its not toxic to cats or get cat grass as snacks!
Leave lil space for sunlight~


I hope this is help bit! Good luck!

some really good pointers here and I never would have guessed the kitty litter could hurt their paws ;A; I'll do some research on plants too, I currently have a few and will need to make sure theyre pet safe ^^

Thanks so much for sharing your advice ^u^

I would rescue one and take the one that shows you the most affection

that's a very good tip! Thank you :'3

Cats can be gloriously wonderful, and glorious pains in the arse. I have four right now (Five if you count the foster.)

Alex - Ex street cat, who adopted my daughter when she was 2ish. So we kept him. He's a sweet thing for the most part. Dislikes most all cats outside of Dexter and our new kitten. We thought he had a flea allergy...always licking himself bald and raw. New kitten who was meant as a foster grew on us..and him. Suddenly he's playing again and no longer licking himself stupid. He's a glutton who inhales his food, and then throws it up a few minutes later due to speed eating. Then tries to steal other foods. Hates the kennel for trips to anywhere and will poo in the kennel then back his rump up to the door to pee everywhere, so now he goes to the vet with a harness and leash and no more issues!

Dexter - Was a sisters, she isn't a good pet parent and decided to dump him and say do something with him I can't do it anymore...he moved in with me and Alex. He's quiet for the most part, a big lover of laying on you and cuddling. Headbutts the mouth for kisses when he lays on you. Like Alex he's basically a yard lion...(They are sixteen pound Large cats. Not Fat no. Large big kitties.) Late night when he wants love or thinks he's alone he wanders the house meowing nice and loud for you.

D.C - Darling cat...the oldest of the cats, the least well behaved in one way. Was the cat of a deceased family member. Mistreated by everyone but my Aunt who was his owner. Has IBS, and never had his litter box properly cleaned...so he learned to go on the rug/fabric. We have puppy pads he uses...sometimes. Its been four years of bad habbit not breaking. We love him anyway. Cuddly, demandy...likes to be held when i'm in the shower, and to lay on my chest if i'm taking a bath.

Java - The foster turned staying for ever kitty. Started out quiet, cuddly. Is now Ms. Zoomy ass meerkat. Mreowls and trills all the time, thinks when i'm in the bathroom is cuddle/pet/play time. Currently attacks the shower curtain, and tries to play with the water in the sink. Loves to pounce the shit out of the foster kitten who freaks out about it, as well as to pounce the dogs, and the other cats. Be it they hiss or not. I've taught her "bad things", like sitting/laying on my shoulder. Climbing me for being on the shoulder, clinging to my pants in the morning demanding food. Demanding loudly to follow me into my room for sleeping time on the days I work night shift. Also am collar/harness/leash training her.

And then there's the foster kitty, and my old cats from years ago...Every cat is different and amazing!

Gosh all your babies sound like absolute jewels ;A; this has made me want to adopt a kitty even more so now, can't wait to be a cat mom! Thanks so much for sharing your baby's stories with me 💕

For the most part they are I got so lucky with my babies. They are also all short hair, or med (Alex has the longest fur and its just a bit longer than short.) Thankfully or I'd never have enough time to brush them all out...especially including the dogs xD

Haha you are the ultimate pet parent! I'll be living next door to my parents who has a Sheltie and a Yorkie and when I lived at home I'd help maintain their fur so I know it's a lot of work xD

Invest in a LARGE litter box, one that is enclosed. They will launch litter everywhere and this will keep most of it in the box.

Cats are social creatures, not loners. Either be sure you will be around most of the time, or get 2 to keep each other company, preferably from the same litter.

Thanks so that tip! I'll be sure to invest in a good litter box c:

I'm almost 100% sure I will be at home most of the time so that shouldnt be a problem ^^

Adopt from your local animal rescue! I have found that rescues are the best! I grew up with cats, never having less than 6 in the house! When i moved out and got my 1st one on my own, i got a senior (10yrs old) and he became my best friend and loved to be picked up and just lay on my lap! Also helped that he was a ragdoll!
But for younger cats, make sure they have PLENTY of stimuli! Scratching posts, a cat tree to climb, tunnels amd TOYS!

Awh thank you for sharing your experience! I think an older cat would be nice to start out with, I'll definitely consider it! Did you find your boy had bad habits that were hard to get out of at all since he was older? c:

No not really. His breed was ragdoll and they are very laid back.
Now after he passed and i got my new baby (3yr old) siamese. He had this habit that he would ONLY drink out of a cup in the bath tub! XD
He is 9 now so as an old man he just does whatever he wants and when we piss him off he does get revenge which normally involves throwing up in the middle of the dining room floor. -_-
But what can i do? Hes my old sweet spoiled rotten asshole baby! I love him as much as my hubby amd daughter!

ive had cats. My latest cat went from being an outdoor cat to indoor/outdoor to 100% indoor and we moved houses. I'd suggest some Natures miracle 'no spray' (if you get a boy) because our guy sprayed some clothes when he got upset due to the move. If you don't like cleaning litterboxes, try the scoop free litter boxes. You just put a little tray with litter in it and the "top' has a rake. Cat uses the bathroom and the little rake scrapes the poop into a 'holding' area of the tray. One tray lasts us a month. We found them at Petsmart (not sure if you have that store, i'm in the usa).

Oh that sounds like a cool contraption! I'll have to check them out online. Don't think we have a petsmart here. Thanks so much for your advice ^u^

Welcome. It works really well. When it gets full you just put the cardboard lid on the used tray and slide it out and replace it with another one. Do also suggest some kind of air purifier in whatever room you have the litterbox in (helps with the stinky smell).
