    New kitty starter pack:
    Stainless steel litter boxes bc plastic holds bacteria
    Water fountain because they like moving water and keep it away from the food
    Wider bowls if possible so no whisker fatigue
    Toys with no feathers because they can eat them
    I’m so excited for this for you guys!

    if you can, try to switch them over to pellet litter (assuming they're already clay litter trained). I swear by the Breeze litter box systems. They use their own specialized pellet litter so all the pee falls through the coated pellets, through the grate, and onto a pee-pad and then all the poop gets trapped in the pellets. I love them so much, super odor resistant and very easy to clean/keep up with. It really only needs to be scooped and the pee-pad changed once a week (maybe twice if it's one box for two kitties). Seriously the best litter boxes ever and they do have enclosed versions!

    I would absolutely not recommend a self-cleaning litter box. My cat almost died in one because the sensors are not always correct. For litter I would recommend pine pellets. They don’t smell. It has very little mess and it’s easy to clean. For food you just kinda have to see what works works best for your cat. Also for water bowls, if you do get a fountain, make sure you clean every single part of the fountain at least once a week, if not, you still have to clean a regular bowl at least once a week.
    Last but definitely not least cats are social animal so the decision to get two kittens was a great one. It will help with the kitten behavior as well as any playful aggression.
    It also would be really cute if you named the cats, Olaf and Elsa since the girls love frozen

    Lately a lot of people have been saying that self cleaning litter boxes are not the move! Can be dangerous for kitties and can trap them inside :( My family uses a stainless steel litter box instead of a plastic one because plastic can hold a lot of bacteria. Also, try and make sure they are hydrated! Running water fountains are great and more appealing for cats. Wet food is also a good source of hydration! It's so sweet to see how excited and gentle the girls are with the kitties and how Ana was so ready to be responsible for them ☺️

    For my two cats i use mainly friskier wet food. They enjoy it so much more than dry food. It is also great for their hydrations since they usually dont drink water on its own all that much. I also use the Nekasa self cleaning litter box. I haven’t heard about anything going wrong with it. Also Jackson Galaxy has so many videos explaining how to handle, play, feed, etc with kittens and getting them acclimated to your house and family!

    • @river8760

    I would get one food bowl for each cat so that they can eat at the same time and not become aggressive or territorial about their food. I also have a bunch of bowls I can put wet food in and wash when they’re done so you don’t have to constantly wash their dry food bowl. I would start wet food every other day in small amounts so they can get used to it but any more than that might hurt their belly and cause diarrhea. I would get tiny soft treats for now because it’s hard for them to eat normal cat treats when their mouths are small. I would also get refillable water dish so you don’t have to fill it every day. I’m glad you got two so they can play together and tire eachother out and it’ll help bad behaviors because of boredom. They will also be more comfortable because they’re together and used to eachother. : )

  • @kabrinakitner7331

    We have tried so many litters and boxes… robot litter boxes are so dangerous and regular and crystal litter tracks everywhere and stinks! We use purina breeze pellet litter with their pellet litter box and it has a tray that you put scented pads in! Clean the poop 1-2 times a day and change that pad twice a week and it won’t smell at all and the litter barely and I mean BARELY ever tracks. And I would def just stick with purina for food! Get a water fall water bowl because it motivates cats to drink more… especially if you don’t feed them wet food… hydration is so important for them.

    It’s good that you got two and I would recommend orijen kitten food I use orijen for my dog and cat it’s more expensive but has better ingredients for example it says chicken instead of chicken byproduct so I’d recommend you check out the ingredients and do research to decide for yourself. I also give my cat wet food each morning and sometimes mix a little water in because cats are usually dehydrated and don’t dink enough water. You can buy a cat water fountain bowl they prefer moving water cause it has less bacteria than stagnant water but if you’re changing it often a bowl is just fine. Either way it needs cleaned so whatever you prefer works.

  • @JuliePotuckova
    @JuliePotuckova Месяц назад

    Hi,
    just some recommendations from my experience :)
    1. food - the main ingredient should be meat - grain free and potatoe free (for example carnilove) - the best thing is to go to the vet and get something they recommend :) + our cats have access to dry food all day (they help to get rid of tartar) and to water all day. Wet food occasionally as a treat (it cant stay in the bowl for a long time, otherwise it will go bad).
    2. I recommend getting them used to - the thing you bring them to the vet in (I dont know the world in english) from the beginning - otherwise they will associate it with the vet and they will be stressed when they have to go in it. !
    3. And watch out for the door or the window - do not leave it open without supervision (even if only little bit open) - it could pinch the cat (for example with the bow) - it is really dangerous
    I wish you the best time with your cats ❤

    I think it's for the best that you adopted a duo! My advice is to hang onto that litter box...not all cats take well to the fancy self-cleaning models. Also, make an account with Chewy! Finally, enjoy watching them grow up. So many people love kittens but they become so sweet as seniors as well.

    I think the cats should be named Boo-Bear (the male cat) and Pumpkin (the female cat). Cats also adapt to nicknames really fast, so they could easily have nicknames. For the names I have in mind, nicknames could be Boo, Bear, Pumpy, Kin, etc.
    For example, I moved in with my boyfriend less than 6 months ago. His cat Morgan already got used to all of the nicknames I call her. I call her Morg, Morgy, Morgs, Morgys, The Baby, Baby Girl, and she responds to all of them (depending on whether or not she actually wants to listen).
