Re: Future Cat Haver

Remember that those tiny prickly claws and teeth will not stay tiny and prickly but get SHARP and ouchie, so do not encourage the kitten to play with your hands just cause it's cute cause how is it supposed to know that it's not fun for you in a few months?

Be prepared for it maybe peeing a lot outside the litter box in the first few months. At least mine did that and the vet said that it might be nervousess after determining that it had not health problems.

Some cats are not good with drinking enough, so maybe get a lil fountain, cause somehow moving water is more fun? Idk it works for mine.

Cats are really great pets! Apart from the obvious softness and the cuddles (tho some cats are simply not lapcats and will prefer just sitting next to you), they sleep a lot and if you clean the litter box regularly, they don't smell at all.

Further to the comment above yours: is playing with a kitten's paws (with your hands, presumably) the same thing as encouraging it to play with your hands? Is the instigator of the play what makes the distinction, or is it all the same thing here?

Thanks for the tips on the litterbox and moving water too. If you don't mind the questiom barrage, is there a good baseline or tell to determine what 'not drinking enough' looks like in a cat, besides just checking the water dish?

Re: OP

I think the anon above meant that you should let the kitten get used to you touching/handling it's paws. My cat doesn't ever scratch/has no problems with its paws, so I wouldn't know anything about it, but should you need to trim your cat's nails, it would be 100% easier when it doesn't mind you touching it. (Also touching the toe beans is fun <3)

The problem with cats is that unless you can see a direct wound or anything physical, you often to realize there is something wrong, so the 'checking the water dish' method seems like the safest option.
Another tip: Cats often don't like it when whe water is too close to the food, cause they're very clean animals. (Same reason why the food/water shouldn't be close to the litter box)
