Getting a kitten.

While this is an exciting time for you,
it can be a rather frightening time of
adjustment for your new kitten.

The kitten will be leaving the security
of their mother and littermates and
experiencing a multitude of new sights,
sounds and smells.

You are reponsible for your kittens health and safery.

You have taken the place of them other and now the kitten

will rely on you for confidence and protection.Remember

that your kitten has just been brought into totally unknown

surroundings. Curb your enthusiasm, move gently and

don’t shout. Avoid handling the kitten excessively.

A noisy or agitated atmosphere could

cause your kitten to be a nervous and fearful adult.

Handling your kitten

Remember to handle your kitten carefully.

Rough or sudden movement can terrify your pet.
If you want to carry your kitten,
the best way is to slide one hand,

open wide, under the stomach
with the other under the rear end for bigger breeds.
Do not slide both hands under the front feet.

Introductions
Introducing the new environment,
new family members and possible fellow pets
(dogs and/or cats already living in your household)
is a very important stage in
successfully integrating your kitten into their new home.
A poor introduction could cause a feeling of
frustration and/or jealousy for your existing pet(s).
This must take place gradually and gently.
You can take certain precautions and make subtle changes
to protect your new kitten from “accidents waiting to happen”
inside your home. Isolate the kitten so that they gradually
learn the way around the house and won’t hide under furniture.
Maintain your existing pet’s (dog and/or cat) privileges,
but make introductions soon after your kitten arrives
home so that they can be properly integrated into the household. Children
often tend to almost smother the new with attention.
An adult cat is perfectly capable of avoiding children when
they don’t want to be bothered, but a kitten is not.
You should explain to your children that the kitten is not a toy,
that they need lots of sleep and that they should not wake
the kitten just to cuddle or play. It is best not to allow
young children to play with the kitten when you are not present.
Your supervision will ensure the child is gentle with the
kitten and aid in avoiding scratches.

Other cats.
An adult cat does not always appreciate invasion of their territory.
Some may show displeasure with threatening behavior.
Total acceptance may take several months.
During the introduction, try introducing the cat
on neutral territory during play or meal times.
Separate the cats if any aggression begins to appear.
Repeat the process until the cats no longer mind each other’s
presence and begin to share. A hier archical relationship will
then be established between the cats, are lationship that
you must respect.

Dogs.
A well-socialized dog will easily accept the young kitten.
Older dogs may be less tolerant, but a slow introduction
will prove to be worth the effort as you allow the pets to get
acclimated and accept each other.

Your kitten’s first nights.
The first night is often very disturbing for your kitten.
It is normal for the kitten to cry the first
three to four nights.

Your kitten’s first things
It’s a good idea to have all the necessary items before the
kitten is brought home.
Your list should include food, feeding bowls, a litter box,
a bed and toys. All of these accessories are
available in pet supply stores.

Food and Water Bowls.
Please, follow your breeder recommendations about
how to feed your kitten.
Choose a small bowl for kitten food (an adult cat only eats four
to six ounces of food per day)and a bigger one for fresh water,
which must always be available.
Glass, crystal or ceramic bowls are recommended.
