Re: Questions about getting a pet

[mimi-sardinia.livejournal.com]

Others have said things on litter and food I am fine agreeing with.

Scratching post - it doesn't matter if it's only simple, as long as there's a scratching option to keep the cat away from your furniture.
And on the subject of toys, a stick with a string (hat elastic is best) that has a few feathers at the other end is a wonderful idea that you can potentially make yourself, on the cheap. It is however a toy that needs you present to wave it around, but it's a great playtime when you're home.

Microchipping - I saw someone else recommend not bothering with a collar, so I heartily recommend a microchip, as soon as you can get it done.

Flea treatment - From my memories of my last cat, the type that is a liquid applied to the back of the neck are great. They not only kill off the fleas on the cat but eventually kill them off in the carpet too. It was a blessing for my mother who has a fleabite allergy. Just don't have the cat around anyone with such an allergy the first few days after applying the treatment as the fleas will still be alive and may jump all over the allergic person and result in pain and itchiness. This happened to Mum once with a friend's cat who stayed at our house a few days.

Pet health insurance - research it, consider getting it. If you do get it, you may be very glad of it if your cat has an accident it survives but is injured from.

Desexing - get both genders desexed young, before spraying or heat sets in. Vets can do it pretty damn young these days, so look into it as soon as you get the cat, if they're still a kitten. An adult may already be done.
