Treat a New Kitten

Have you just got a new cat? Either from the pet shop or charity shop such as RSPCA? Then this page can give you some advice on how to treat your new cat when he/she comes into your home.

Steps

 * 1) Keep them in a room. Keep the doors shut so no one can get in. They may startle them. Make such the room doesn't have any too tight spaces, but places where they can wander round and explore.
 * 2) Make sure you have a litter tray with the special litter substance inside for when they get used to going to the loo. They haven't learned where to go yet so this will be their starting point. You must have the litter substance inside being when they excrete wee, the substance hardens, making it easier to scoop up.
 * 3)  When petting them, don't go towards them with a wide hand, This will scare them. You need to just hold out your hand to them from a distance, they will see it, come towards it, sniff it, and either scrape their head across it, bash their head on it, or lower their head.
 * 4)  If you have other cats, make sure your new cat is in a room on its own away from the other cats, because the first time they meet, your newbie may run away, hiss, have big eyes, hair standing up on their back and/or a straight tail. But after a while, they'll soon get used to the strangers. All of them.
 * 5)  Don't make loud noises or very sudden movements. This will frighten them.
