There is a new cat in my house; it's a gift I promised my daughter when she turned sixteen. We had lost a beloved cat the previous year, and a new kitten was needed. However, I had an added objective with this pet: it was to really be her responsibility. The joke is always that mom ends up taking care of the animals, but a pet is no joke, it's a family member. So, my daughter read the book I provided on cat care, and together we made a list of all the things a new cat would need: litter box, food, collar, scratching post, food, vaccinations, bowls, top spot, toys and more. She was surprised as to how many items were needed, along with the expense. I was happy she was learning this lesson. All the supplies were purchased at the Humane Society thanks to a new owner discount. We researched and found that Target had the cheapest prices too. So far so good with the lesson. Where to put the litter box, how often to clean it, and feed the cat, grooming tips, etc, was all covered in the book, at the Humane Society and at a follow up visit with the vet. Receiving this info from someone other than mom allowed her to hear it as helpful instruction not an order. On air this delivery works by using lots of phone calls and local drops. If you're looking for any cat drops, just let me know. Meow!
