Please can I have all your advice for a new kitty owner :)


Hello everyone

Nice to be here. I'm another Dogwebber!
I'm soon going to be the proud owner of a Bengal kitten I lost my moggie James a few months ago sadly and now my hubby's getting me a kitten. Bless him! so I'm experienced with cats but very out of practice with kittens . Hubby's had a few but I got James when he was around 5 from a rescue.
I want to get everything right from the start so please don't hold back in offering any advice - however small it's much appreciated
I'm very excited and it's great to see that other Bengal owners are here as well.

Hello and Welcome!!

Biggest problem I had was over enthusiastic daughter syndrome!! She wouldnt leave my two kittens alone - and now they are quite skittish and do not like being picked up!!

My advice - give them space and time to get to know you without overdoing it!!!

Thanks

I've got a feeling my dog's not going to know what's hit him
Fortunately he got on very well with my last cat who adored him and he's got a real playful streak.

Hello there and welcome!!

I am sure the cat will rule the roost! I know my 2 do and I have 4 big dogs!
Photos please!! When are you getting the kitten? Is it a boy or girl? Sorry about the 20 questions!

I'm going to get a little boy and I'm not sure when I can bring him home as he was only born on the 3rd of April so he's teeny tiny at the minute.
I'll post lots of pictures when I've got him and I can see him in around 3 weeks time

I quite like the name Zeus but I keep trying to think of others as well.

Welcome, Juliet!! Am sure the little guy will do well; it's obvious that he's going to a home where he'll be well-loved...that's important!

I've just bought him this ...

to keep him out of mischief. If anyone's got a Costco card they're a bargain at £35 and it's huge
