6 Tips for Bringing a New Cat Home (Petco)

Үй жануарлары мен аңдар

Many cats will initially be timid and shy. Cats need several days to adjust to a new home. You can help your cat in this adjustment period by providing a safe, quiet room for them. When you think your cat is ready, tempt them out with some toys or some food. Let the cats proceed at their own pace. Once your cat is comfortable, introduce them to other areas of the house.
Cats are more active at night. To help them adjust to your schedule provide interactive toys and multiple play sessions.
Urinary tract infections are common in cats. This can be fatal in male cats if not treated immediately. To avoid these diseases provide lots of drinking water for your cats. Drinking water can also prevent kidney failure in older cats.
Cats love to nap so provide a variety of sleeping areas around your home.
It is important to know the right technique when picking up your cat. Place one hand on its chest, just behind the cat's front legs and use your other hand to scoop up their back end. Keep in mind cats don't like being constrained.
Cats will often chew on household plants out of boredom, curiosity or their just craving vegetation. Many common plants are toxic. Lilies can even be fatal. Be sure to decorate your home with only feline-friendly plants. Consider giving your cat a safe plant to munch on.

    I adopted a cat today! She is one year old and I was leaving her to stay on the other side of my room and I was gonna leave her be, but then a few minutes later she just came over and was already giving me loads affection! God, she’s just so darn sweet and super cute, I already love her so very much :3

    I have my adopted 3 year old kitty 95 days ago today. So far, I’ve gone to the Vet 3 times, called the Vet about six times, at first had a melt-down almost every day thinking I was not doing anything right, and generally was having panic attacks! Got meds but never took them. Just kept working through my anxiety and now, we are doing so well. She’s wonderful, unpredictable and fabulous! I don’t remember my life before her. Am a 84 year old widow, no children and completely in love with my girl Coco. We are one!

Also, I've seen a lot of videos saying they need a scratching pole, but I already bought a cardboard scratching board that is large, and wavy and can be stood up. Is this ok? Or should I get a scratching post as well? Is there a difference?

    Hi Kate. Glad you appreciate the video. :) Regarding your concern, cardboard scratching board and scratching pole has the same function but you need to consider what your cat prefers-- angled, vertical or horizontal surfaces. We'd like also to share this article that can be helpful to you as a new pet parent to your kitten: community.petco.com/t5/Blog/Getting-a-New-Kitten/ba-p/61333.

    I got a new cat yesterday and it ran under the couch my whole family (well the part of my family that was home) was trying to get her out, we put her in the bathroom so she wouldn't run off but I sat in there with it petting it, and cradling it (not on it's back most cats hate that) and read a book and she would fall asleep but when she woke up she would run off out of my lap and behind the toilet. But after a few hours later I was holding her then my stepdad came in held her for a few seconds then set her down, she then ran behind the toilet, and I pulled my book and she started to slowly step towards me and then she crawled into my lap. I was overjoyed, and when we were all in there I think everyone was scaring her on accident and at first I looked around and couldn't find her and I looked at my feet and she was sitting in between my feet and was looking up at me. But overall Thank for the new tips! Some of then I already did so that's relieving.

    Glitchy Gaming Try slowly to help your new Cat to adjust to company. most will hide when a new person comes into their new home. try to put into a cage before your company comes in, then let her-him come out to you and your company. they will adjust..

    my new kittens have adjusted to everything around the house except me. they always run away from me and never let me pick them up. i give them treats and don’t bother them unless i very gently give them my finger to sniff before i scratch their head. and sometimes they just scratch me or even bite me so i rarely do anything. it makes me really sad lol.

    Hi Snatombi Devi. Thank you for your question; if you've got an outside kitty, we recommend creating a safe space for her (a shelter of sorts), complete with bedding, food, and water. Be sure to keep this area clean for her, and try sitting outside with her while she is around so she can get used to you. Try offering her treats, and when she is ready, you may try to pet her. Eventually, she may just warm up! If you are able, we also recommend taking her to see a veterinarian to ensure she is spayed and in good health. We wish you two the best!

    I would be grateful if you could help please. My father wanted an almost 2 year old siamese cat. The cat he took was living in a house with 2 people and 7 other cats of his breed. The day he adopted him, he put him temporarily in a smaller house near his with a female feral cat he had, because he didn't want him to be alone. He was 2 and a half days hidden at the house without eating or drinking at all. Eventually my father returned him, but he wants so much to adopt him, and wants to try again. Please if anyone has some advise I would be grateful if they could share with me.

    Otaku hajimemashita well for starters dont just force your new cat into a unknown location with a unfamiliar (feral) cat. Like the video says when adopting a cat start them off in a single room where they can be alone and take the time to adjust to their new surroundings. I think putting a cat together with a feral one isn't that great of a idea in general, though. If your dad doesn't want the cat to be lonely he should just adopt two that already know each other together, especially since Siamese are typically a very social breed so unless he has the time to constantly socialize with the cat it's gonna need a friend. Just preferably not a feral one.
