Finding the right cat for you and your family is important.

Kitten Price

Cats also range vastly in price. 

From relatively cheap rescue cats to expensive pedigree kittens.

And the cost of the cat doesn’t reflect how great a pet they are going to be.

Settling In

During those first few days with a kitten, it is important to help them to relax. 

Start by just giving them access to a single room. 

Make it easy for them to find the litter box, and give them somewhere to hide where they can feel safe and secure.

Introducing Cats to Kittens

Make introductions gradually, don’t overwhelm them with numerous new faces straight away. 

And make sure they get good amounts of both company and down time.

Kitten Behavior

Some kittens will explore straight away, and be keen to say hello to everyone else in the family. 

Others will hide, and even hiss or spit if you approach them. 

Almost all kittens will bite, and play so hard that at times you wonder whether they want you around at all! 

But with careful handling, and reading of their body language, your furry friend soon settle down.

Kitten Health Decisions

Some of the earliest decisions you will have to make for your kitten are those to do with veterinary care. 

Declawing is a popular choice in some regions, but in reality it can have devastating consequences. 

Neutering can feel like a rather harsh reality for your tiny kitten, but without it life with your furry partner can become very tough.
