I know the feeding, watering, and litter box deal. I've been with cats my entire life. I just want to know how to keep her healthy and happy if any of you have any cool and helpful tips. Also, get rid of fear, keep her playful, etc. Thanks!
Well the first day you 'll get her just don't rush things.Leave her alone to decide what she wants and what she doesn't want to do.Some kittens are very social right from the beginning,others are scared and need time to get used to their new home.Pushing your new kitten to do something she doesn't want to do,like cuddle with you,will only resolve in her being even more scared.Give her the time she needs.Visiting the house she is now into will help her get used to you,so the transfer to your house will be easier for both of you.
Buy her a lot of toys to keep her busy the time you won't be home.In pet shops you will find a variety of toys for cats.Remember that not all cats like the same things,so just because something is a hit doesn't mean your car will like it too,for example my cat is scared of mice you wind up,he hates it when he sees them moving in circles,lol.
Deside now where you want her to go and where you don't.It's very hard to teach them what they can and can't do when they are older and already used to doing it.Remember that if you don't want the cat to sleep with you in your bed you need to be firm and never allow her on your bed.Closing the door of your bedroom is the best solution.I started not letting my cat on my bed,let him there once after he was neutered cause I felt bad for him,well the damage was done,he is now almost 5 years old and I don't dare to close my bedroom door,he would tear it down in order to get in,lol!
Get her used on eating on specific times and don't give her any extras during the day.Twice daily is the best solution,give her some food at the morning when you wake up and some at night,before you start eating dinner.And NEVER give her to eat from the table…trust me on this one,you don't want a cat begging for food the whole time you eat.
Don't push your cat to be friendly with strangers if she doesn't want to.Some cats like the attention of others,others hate it and would prefer to be hidden 'till the "strangers" are gone.
Take her always to the vet for the vaccinations she needs and all your questions considering her health.Chip and spray her if you are planning to let her go outside.Love her and take good care of her.That's about it!Have fun with your new pet
