For all the key products and supplies you’ll need to buy to prepare for the arrival of a new cat, look no further than our guide. We’ve pulled together some great advice to help you give your cat a great home. Firstly, your cat will love you forever if you feed them well, so good quality cat food should be top of your list. The quality is important as often cheaper cat food contains harmful chemicals that are unsuitable for your pet.
If you’re buying your cat food, you should also buy them something so you can serve the food. Prevent their food contaminating yours by getting some extra forks or other cutlery to serve it. Also make sure you buy them a few different food and water bowls or dishes so you’ll always have a clean one to hand, making things more hygienic. Cats like to eat, so more than one bowl will definitely be needed once they come to live with you.
Your new cat or kitten is also going to be in need of a place to sleep, so it can be a good idea to get them a soft basket and personalize it with a blanket. This will help them to be comfortable when they’re sleeping and, if they have their own bed, it will help you teach the cat to be disciplined. They also like to have an area that’s just for them. Some people like it when their cat sleeps with them but a basket is useful.
Even if your intention is that your new cat will go outside to use the bathroom, it can be a good idea when you have a new cat – especially if you are getting a kitten – to have a litter tray available for them to use. This helps the cat to identify your house as home and can be very useful if you don’t want them to go outside while they’re getting to know the area. This is especially important for kittens, which shouldn’t go outside for the first few months.
One last thing you should get for your cat is a scratching pole. This is a good way of getting them to stop scratching you and your furniture as they’ll have a designated place for it. It’s also a good idea to get them some toys or other accessories to make them feel at home. It’ll also keep them entertained if they get left home alone. For example, you could get a few catnip toys and hide them around the house for the cat to find.
