YAY!
Well, I’m gonna get a kitty. Soon, hopefully. We need to get everything…sorted out in the apartment and stuff, but then…>w<
I get a kitty~~!
I might need a little help at first, getting food n’ stuff like that. But, after I start babysitting, I should have the money to get food on my own, (I can always get it from Dollar General or wherever it is we get dog food for Ike, if they have dog food, they should have cat food.).
Even if I have to spend all my baby-sitting money on my kitten, I don’t care. Cause, it’d be my own pet. You know? I’ve never had a pet of my own. Yea, I had Cuddles, but she was never my pet really, she was Greg’s.
I had that bird when I was in like, Kindergarten I think, but…I dun remeber him much. (…now that I think of it, he’s still buried at the old house in Genoa. xD)
I had Muffin, the kitten my mom got me. But, I only got to see him once, cause the next time I visited my mom, he was dead. >.>
But, this kitten is gonna be with me until we’re both very old. I’ll even bring her/him to college with meh.
Anyway, so yea, I’ve just been watching T.V. and looking up on how to take care of a kitten, (Besides just feeding it and stuff. And even at that, I’ve been looking up at what kind of food I should give it. (Dry food, if I remeber correctly, with lots of protein and stuff. Canned food is better for adult cats, but even then, they might not eat it as much if they’re used to dry food.)
But yea, the main things I need,
are, a litter box, a catbed, a cheap scratching post, and I can always make some toys for her/him, (the site I’ve been looking at has some good ideas.)
They also suggest making a a small little ‘room’, (a safe room), so the kitten can go and relax and stuff. I dunno where I can put that at…but I’ll figure that out later. It’s gonna be a month or so I think before i get said cat, (wish it was sooner….>.>;;).
But yea, the site I’ve been looking at is really helpful. It tells how to “gentle” train a kitten, and how to kitten proof the house, (One helpful thing, is to get Bitter Apple, and lemon (I think), spray or something, and spray it in places you don’t want the kitten to go - the cats dislike the scent.)
It also has lists of good scratching posts/toys/litter boxes/ect. to get. It even lists cheap ones and stuff.
But yea, it’s really helpful and I’m learning quite a lot.
Anyways~~~! I’m out.
