Cat Birth - If you are in any doubt as to the sex of your cat or kitten , consult the photograph .
The best time to introduce a cat into your home is when you have plenty of time to spare , and there a few other people around.Most kitten settle in quickly but it may take a little while to introduce an adult cat to the new surroundings. If you are at work at work during the day , try to take a few days off either side of the weekend so that you and your new cat have some time to spend together.
Before the cat arrives , decide the most suitable sites for the litter tray and feeding bowls . Let the cat see these as soon as it arrives - it may need the litter tray immediately . Also , think about the cats sleeping arrangements. Cats like to sleep in the warmest part of the house , and they like company too.If you do not want to share your bed with your cat , make this quite clear from the outset.
Make a cosy nest for your kitten in its own basket ; put in suitable bedding materials , a hot water bottle and some toys and keep your bedroom door shut.
You new cat will be the center of attention when you first bring it home , but do not exclude any existing pets from your attention as this will make them very jealous of the new intruder and may prolong the settling process.Make sure both animals get the same attention.
If you already own an adult cat and want to introduce another , it can take quite a time to get them to settle down together . The resident cat will not appreciate the newcomer at first and if you are not cereful , there will be a lot of caterwauling and fur flying . Introductions must be done gradually.
Between Residents and Newcomer - Smell is important to cats , so take a blanket or piece of fabric from you home and put it in the carrier you collect your new cat in.
Rub a little on the new cat before you bring it into you home . You could also try putting sardine or pilchard juice on each cat , which may seem strange , but the most important thing is for the cats to smell the same .
Food is another good way to get cats to accept each other , feed them in the same room from separate bowls.
Basic Items - Before collect your cat or kitten make sure you have all the necessary equipment . Do not leave this until last minute.
The basic items needed to start with are:
