Are you in the process of making up your mind for a suitable pet and oscillating between a Dog and a Kitty cat? Cats as well as Dogs prove to be decent pets, however if you are always short of time to take a dog for walk then choosing a Kitty would be prudent. Note that dogs would need a lot more attention and care than a cat so if you do not have much time to spare, you better not get a dog.

Preparing For Your Kitty Cat

The good news about cats is that they are very independent and would not really take as much care a dog. However, that does not mean that you will prepare certain things before you bring your little kitty cat home. So you better get things organized before you go to the pet shop and get you cat.

 First, you will need to find your kitty cat a bed. A wicker basket bed would do very nicely for your cat. Get one of those really nice wicket basket beds and put some cotton or wool blankets on it. Kitty cats love something that is soft and warm so the cotton or wool blanket would do nicely. Besides, cotton or wool blankets are easily to clean or replace so you would really have much of a problem there.

Aside from the bed, you should get your kitty cat a food dish and a water dish. It would be good idea to get a food dish and water dish that are made of steel instead of plastic because your cat might play with the dish. Plastic dish could easy get scratched or damaged so better get a steel dish instead.

For grooming your kitty cat, you should get a nail clipper, some wash clothes, mineral oil or eye ointment, hairbrush and mild shampoo. Actually, most cats hate the water and they would usually not welcome it if you give them a bath so it would be a good idea to big it a bath occasionally only. However, you will be required to clean it’s face regularly using a clean and wet cloth. Use some mineral oil to clean the eyelids of you kitty cat but make sure that you do not put anything directly in its eyes because that would cause some irritations. Besides this, You should routinely trim the nails of your pet if you do not intend to decorate your house furniture with Cat scratch marks.
