Alright so my fiance and I just got a kitten.
So a bit of back story of how we got the kitten:
We got the kitten today. It is eight weeks old. (Black fur, green eyes, named him Dante - beautiful kitten!) Now you see the owners of said kitten didn't want it anymore; and they said if they didn't find a home for it today they'd put it on the streets. (Great people.) They couldn't afford it, barely had it two weeks. So our neigbhor (call him J) took in the kitten for all of ten minutes. He has three cats so couldn't have it. Plus one of his cats didn't like the kitten. So my fiance and I got home from the shop; and ran into J before we got into the house. We talked a bit; and accepted the kitten. At first we thought it was a girl because the ex owners told J it was a she; then J's girlfriend came over double checked...it was a boy. So simple to say the four of us are not pleased with the ex owners!! And it has worms which we'll get fixed a.s.a.p.
So to the now:
We have cans of cat food, a cat litter, a cat bed and a few toys plus the litter tray.
The kitten is getting use to staying in its bed; since were trying to train it to not sleep in our bed. But it still climbs onto our bed; it can't jump on it but it climbs up on the sheets like a cliff climber. (It is very intelligent.) And does not seem to want its bed; any tips? It comes on the bed again and again to join us. (Sitting on a pillow usually.)
Also is it okay to have an indoor cat? As in do all cats need to go outside or are some happy to be inside all the time?
Any tips on do's and don'ts? Our friend next door is helping out too but knowing other views is good too. (:
Funny note: He fell asleep on his back stretched out; his arms and legs stretched out too ! XD
Dante!~
