Food and water bowls are available in almost all shapes, colors and materials. You should give preference to materials that are easy to clean. Porcelain or metal are particularly suitable, because they do not slip. However, the bowls do not have to be dishwasher safe. You’ll find that cats sometimes develop their own preferences for their bowls. You may have to change them as they get used to them.
Especially for the acclimation phase, the litter box with a low rim should be preferred. Otherwise, it may happen that the little house cat does not make it to the litter box and looks for another place for the small and big business. If your apartment or the house goes over several floors, it is recommended to provide a litter box on each floor.
To avoid a big change when your cat moves in, you should use the cat litter that the breeder or the previous owner used to acclimate your cat. Cats are accustomed animals and moving in should be made as comfortable and confidential as possible.
Especially in the beginning you should avoid litter boxes with a shelter and a flap. For you this variant may be quite advantageous. For your little animal it can make fear.
A species-appropriate and high-quality diet can significantly ensure a healthy and vital life of your cat. Find out what your cat has been fed so far and feed the same product. You can change the food step by step.
You should always keep the bowls separate. Cats like to play with their food. And so that the water does not become contaminated, the bowl should not be placed in the immediate vicinity of the food.
Cats often scratch furniture and upholstery when they can’t find any other place in the home to sharpen their nails. If your cat is not an outdoor cat, the cat tree becomes even more important. In addition to stability, the cat tree should also have some climbing and playing opportunities in store.
Toys become an important occupation for your little four-legged friend. When buying you should pay attention to species-appropriate toys. Toys with bells, small balls, stuffed animals – your cat will be happy about the variety.
The little four-legged friend should feel comfortable when moving into your apartment. So that everything is ready and in its place, you should have the basic equipment in any case before moving in. Because then you can fully concentrate on the first encounters with your cat.
