Question

I'm buying two new grey kittens. i know how to look after them, but does anyone have specific tips? like... the best place for a bed etc tyx

Answer 1

Here is a list of necessary things to get:

Kitten Food

Litter Box

Plastic bags

Litter Scoop

Food and water bowls

Kitty Brush

Toys

Kittens are usually VERY playful and energetic. It is GREAT that you are getting 2 if they are siblings because they love playing together. As for a bed, kittens usually sleep wherever they please. You can't really confine them to one spot. Kittens love little hiding places! I would suggest a cat tree with a scratching post and holes. Like this one: (http://www.ukparrotcages.co.uk/images/ca... They don't have to be expensive or extravagant for your kitty to enjoy it!

Cats LOVEEEE foil balls. That is a cheap, easy way to entertain your kittens. Although, as kittens, it will not be hard at all to keep them excited.

Cats also love to drink out of flowing water. When the water is flowing it keeps it fresh and with more oxygen.

I also suggest that you keep them indoors if you want them to live for a long time. If they are healthy enough you could get them a stroller! I would love to get my cat a stroller, but he has asthma and the outdoors induces attacks.  

If you have any questions feel free to email me!

Answer 2

When my cats were kittens they would sleep on my bed with me and they were very comfortable there and they would play with you too. but afterwards they prefered the couch or the very end or top of the bed. I also would recomend Iams kitten chow for food because they seem to like it alot and it has a pretty recent price for it. And for toys they like the simplest things like yarn, hairties, and pipe cleaners to play with. hope this helps.

best place for a bed? boy, do you have a lot to learn.the best place for a bed is wherever yours is. they will take it over.

every so often they will move to a new bed, like the kitchen table. you will know they have moved when you hear the stuff crashing that was in their way.

for the first few weeks, i would give them a box in a dark spot, under your bed or in a closet. should be close to where you sleep. they will want to hide at first. soon, they will take over the place and act like you are in the way.

toys - they love cardboard boxes and paper bags, they love to run, they love "caves" under or in furniture, closets, blankets over things to form a tent, anything that rolls, things they can attack and chew on, besides each other, like stuffed animals.

pet carrier for trips to the vet. get one about twice the size of two adult cats, they will grow into it, and you can bring both in at one time for check ups.

get them fixed. their gender really does not matter, as long as they are fixed at about 6 months.

TIPS:

*1.DON'T ADOPT TWO MALES! THEY FIGHT AGGRESIVELY FOR ATTENTION WHEN THEY OLDER! THEY WILL START MARKING THEIR TERITORY BY PEEING ON YOUR STUFF! EG.BEDS,FURNITURE,ON YOURSELF ECT!

2.I RECOMMENT ONE FEMALE AND A MALE!

3.HAVE THEM SPAYED.TO PREVENT PREGNANCY

4.LET THEM SLEEP ON YOUR BED![THEY WILL FEEL MORE WELCOME]

5.ALWAYS GIVE THEM FRESH WATER AND FOOD EACH DAY!

6.TREAT THEM EQUALLY!

7.MAKE SURE AND CLEAN THEIR LITTER BOX EVERY MORNING AND BEFORE YOU SLEEP! THAT GOES FOR THE FOOD AND WATER TO!

8.PLEASE DON'T HIT THE KITTEN YOU WILL JUST CONFUSE THEM

9.INVITE THEM TO PLAY.EG  THEY LIKE STRINGS,SOFT COTTON TOYS!  ECT.

10.DON'T GIVE THEM MILK! IT WILL UPSET THEIR STOMACHS.

11.FEED THEM DRY FOOD LIKE "WHISKERS" MY CATS LOVES THAT! OR WET FOOD LIKE "CAT FOOD IN CANS.

NOTE:HAVING CATS IS A BIG RESPONSIBILITY AND LOTS OF MONEY

                         GOOD LUCK!

Answer 5

For a bed, put it somewhere that both kittens fill secure in. Let them roam the house a bit before deciding. They'll find a comfort zone, and will settle right in. Two kittens can be a lot of work, but if they are siblings, they should be a little bit of comfort to each other while in a new enviroment. Good luck!
