Things to Consider When Getting a Cat or Kitten

If you are thinking about adding a cat or kitten to your family, there are some things you should consider first to make sure you home stays up to par.

First, you need to think about investing in a good cat litter.  Having a good litter is extremely important when you are in the process of getting a cat or have more than one cat.  It is best to find a litter that clumps as it will make the task of cleaning your cat's litter box easier on you.  If you have more than one cat or kitten, invest in more than one litter box.  Also, makes sure that you placed the box in an area where other animals and children cannot get to it. 

Next, you should start thinking about spaying or neutering your cat.  This should be done at an early age as cats may choose to mark their territory as they get older.  Once they get in this habit, it can be difficult to make them stop.  Many people find that spaying or neutering stops this habit before it develops.

If you have additional questions about adding a new cat or kitten to your family, it is advised that you seek help from a professional resource, such as your local veterinarian.
