Things to think about when you get your kitten home!
For the first two weeks, you should not let your kitten be alone for longer periods. When you leave your cat alone, limit the space for it so that it feels safe.
Ge katten en lugn introduktionstid med de andra husdjuren. Give the cat a quiet introduction time with the other pets. Use high-quality hygienic cat litter for easier care. Avoid clumping sand, as small kittens like to eat sand and can become constipated. Feel free to talk to the breeder about oddities and bad habits. Feed your kitten high-quality food that is suitable for growing kittens. Kitten food is suitable for up to 1 year of age. Talk to your breeder about what food the cat should eat and what to do in case of a food change.
The kitten’s mischeif and sleep
The cat needs a small corner where it can be undisturbed and feel safe. To protect furniture and wallpaper from sharp, small and mischievous cat claws, it is an advantage to have a climbing frame or scratching board. The climbing frame is often appreciated by the cat, as the cat has a good view of what is happening in the home. You can sprinkle or spray catnip on the scratching board or climbing frame to attract the cat and soon it will discover what the arrangement is for. Play with and activate the cat as often as you can, for its well-being. But also respect that the cat wants to be left alone and sleep. A little kitten needs its sleep to grow and feel good.
New habits for the kitten
The first time with the new family should be characterized by security and love with a lot of body contact. In this way, you lay the foundation for future bathing, fur care and claw trimming and build trust between you and your cat. Please familiarize the cat with the things that will happen in the cat’s life when it is small. It is much easier to phase these things into a kitten’s life than an adult cat. Now take advantage of the time when it is a small kitten, because time passes quickly and soon your new family member will be an adult cat. Good luck!
