Please don't let your cat roam around outside. I saw my neighbor's cat get carried off by a hawk. I was too far away to do anything. It was horrible.

A catio is not extremely expensive to build and there are a ton of examples online. A friend built one using stuff she found from the free section on Craigslist.

I strongly suggest feeding at least one can of wet cat food daily with a grain free dry cat food. I only fed my old cat Molly dry food and she developed a nasty urinary tract infection. The vet told me that cats need wet food too. They said to alternate protein sources (fish, chicken, beef) because too much of a certain kind can make them sick. Also don't put the food and water dish next to each other. Cats don't like it.

Cats love being able to get up high to survey their domain. A lot of the negative behavior from the cats on the show My Cat from Hell was because the cat didn't have a place to get up and away. Invest in a tall cat tree or wide shelving on the wall. Quake Hold putty is a lifesaver

I used to use the Tidy Cat scoopable cat litter at around $15 every two weeks. I now use a bag of wood pellets (horse stall bedding from Tractor Supply Company) that is $6 for 40 pounds and with my current two cats, it lasts for two months. It is the same stuff as Feline Pine, but more for less money. The litter box is a large see-through plastic tote that was around $5 at Walmart.

I got my current two cats from my old neighbor. They had three cats, G, P, and B that each had kittens all within a week. P only had one kitten, but she didn't want anything to do with it, so my neighbor put the kitten with B's litter. P and G were run over and B couldn't feed all the kittens. I took in the runts, P's and B's kittens and bottle fed them. Both are girls. P's kitten is called Butter and has a tortoiseshell coat. B's baby is called Needy and is a brown tabby. I got them spayed for free through a local program, your area might have a free or reduced rate program too. Both are therapy animals, I have a note from my psychologist saying they help me.

I didn't have them declawed and they let me trim their nails every few weeks.

I make their toys for the most part. The easiest is to cut a rectangle out of felt, sew part way, fill with stuffing or scrap fabric, add some scents (Butter loves catnip and Needy likes cinnamon), and sew the rest of the way. Butter's favorite thing is catnip scented bubbles while Needy hates bubbles.

Definitely put away money each month for emergencies. Needy nearly gave me a heart attack when she stopped walking one morning when she was three months old. One rush to the vet, a numbing shot, a x-ray, and $125 later, she was fine​. The vet thought she hurt her back while playing.
