hey since i will hopefully get a cat this summer i would appreciate anyone sending me kitty knowledge bc i know like hardly anything abt cats except that they sleep alot, form into loafs of bread, knock things over on purpose and like to fit into boxes. oh and lay in sinks.
but idk anything referring to their health so if you know anything, even just one thing, please fill free to share it with me!!! as for the species i am not sure what i will be getting, probably just a domestic short hair or an orange tabby(thats what mom wants to get anyways).
so yeah if u know anything abt kitties plz tell me!
So get a nice litter box and a mat for it. The cats tend to track litter if they don’t have the mat. I empty the clumps into a diaper bin (any small, foot pedal trash can works) that I line with one of those large 30 gallon Glad trash bags. It’s waaaay too big for the bin but it’s strong and I have a place to grab that’s clean when I have to empty it. Dirty kitty litter is HEAVY so don’t let the bin get full before emptying it. I have two cats and scoop the litter box twice a day to keep it from stinking and to keep my cats from getting pissed at me. The Arm and Hammer lightweight litter is amazing and tbh the best clumping litter I’ve ever had. I use the multi-cat, which is fine for a single cat as well.
You might think that a short haired cat won’t need a lot of brushing, but I brush my one cat (short-haired) at least twice a week. I use this tool for it, since her undercoat’s what causes her shedding: https://www.target.com/p/shedmonster-de-shedding-tool-for-cats/-/A-17214459
