Week 13 of social isolation and we decided to get a cat. She’s here Monday, give me all your tips?

Be patient! If she hides somewhere, like under a piece of furniture, try hanging out on the floor some distance away and doing a quiet activity for a while. It’ll let her watch you without been seen herself.

Catproof your home—don’t leave out small objects like hair ties, bits of string, plastic, etc. And look up videos from Jackson Galaxy to learn about cat behavior.

Never declaw! Keep your kitty’s nails trimmed. Buy some scratch posts and toys so your furniture/carpet is not damaged. I give my cat treats after a nail trim so they hate it less. Definitely get a tree house. They live to climb and have a high place to sit.

Cordless vacuum and a modkat litter box

Clean out the cat litter box frequently, lest flies lay eggs in it and you get flies all over your house. Speaking from experience.

“Cats think you're just a a slightly big, dumb non-hostile cat. Quite specifically, he says that they treat humans as if they were their Mama Cat.

All that rubbing up against you with their tails up is apparently no more than a hopeful check that you really are just another big, fat, slovenly cat who doesn't intend to eat them with their Welsh Rarebit.”

Trying to relay the latest research on cats... 🤣🤣. “If you ever thought your cat was anxious, insecure, tense, suspicious or aggressive toward you, you aren't making it up, he said. If they were bigger, they probably would consider killing you.”

@D1: Whatever floats your boat! 😹

Prepare all your “cats are superior” arguments. Also, prepare to be wrong.

SAA 1 you didn’t have to give an example to back up my statement, but you did. I appreciate it.

My cat, looking down on the cat haters who’ve stopped by just to troll...
