When you bring home a new kitten, there are some definite similarities to bringing home a new baby.
You need to prepare your home for both exciting events.
You may devote a whole room to your baby as well as all the toys, accessories and such that you need for the baby scattered throughout your home.
He or she will be a part of your everyday life going forward.
The same is true of a kitten.
You need to carve out an area for your feline friend that will have her litter box, food and play things.
Just like a child, if you don't entertain kitty, she will find a way to entertain herself! That is where cat toys and cat furniture will save the day.
Your pet has a desire to play and exercise and do what comes natural including a bit of scratching and biting here and there.
Get him started on the right foot with cat trees that can give him a healthy outlet for these innate desires.
Good cat trees will give your kitty opportunities to climb, perch and play.
Some include scratching posts or use material such as a sisal on a ramp or leg that will encourage your kitten to scratch.
If the tree you pick out has plenty of points of interest, you may not need to do much at all to train your pet to use it.
He will be naturally attracted to it like he is to a ball of yarn.
In fact, if your choice does not come with dangling toys, hang a few of them from the pillars and posts to draw your pet's attention to this special piece of furniture designed just for her.
You can also place a nice cushion on a perch for a cozy sleeping spot and skip buying a separate bed.
