The arrival of a kitten at home is a moment of great excitement. For the kitten, with its deep sensitivity, it is above all an enormous change: new smells, new sounds, new people, and the absence of the mother and siblings it has lived with until that day. The first month serves to turn this change into a new sense of security. Here is how we guide the kitten through it, and what we suggest to families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Preparing the home before arrival<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

– a litter tray with litter similar to the one used at the cattery;
– bowls for water and food, away from the litter tray;
– a soft bed and a couple of hiding places;
– a sturdy scratching post;
– a few simple toys, such as feather wands and balls;
– a sturdy carrier, which will also be used for vet visits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is also the time for a safety check of the home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The base room<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the first few days the kitten should not have access to the whole house. A quiet room, with everything it needs, becomes its base: a small, predictable territory to start from. There it can eat, sleep, use the litter tray and receive short, calm visits from family members.<\/p>\n\n\n
