You are bound to be excited by the occasion of bringing home your new kitten – but remember, your kitten will need certain things to help him settle in. Long before you bring your kitten home, you will need to make a list of the equipment and food you will need for your new pet. You will then need to buy everything in advance so that it’s all ready when your kitten comes home.

Firstly, think about what your kitten will eat. It is wise to ask your breeder what your kitten has been eating so far and if they have any likes or dislikes. It’s a myth that kittens just drink milk – this can cause stomach upsets which may have you running around the house cleaning up after your new pet! Instead look for specialist kitten foods and supplement this with cat milk, which has been specially developed for cats. Also buy little bite-sized treats for your kitten to reward him and welcome him into his new home.

You will also need some other equipment for your kitten, most importantly a litter tray. Hopefully your kitten will be toilet trained when he arrives, and you will need to carry on this good work by rewarding your ...
... kitten when he uses the tray. Make sure that you buy quality litter that has odour control and also clean the litter tray regularly.

Other kitten accessories include scratching poles to save your furniture, brushes for grooming, food bowls, collars and toys. Stock up on a few of these items to make sure your kitten settles into his new home successfully.
