KITTEN PROOFING
This is probably one of the most overlooked areas when
purchasing a new kitten but one of the most important.
Just like human babies kittens are babies and they love
to explore and investigate not realizing the potential
dangers. It is up to you to make sure her environment is
safe.
Kittens love to use electrical cords and phone cords as
teething rings. Wrap them in protectors, tape them down
or put them up out of reach.
Make sure blind cords are kept out of reach. Kittens
love batting them around but they can get tangled up and
choke. Be sure to either anchor the cords or tie them up
out of reach.
Keep small items like jewelry, buttons, pins, needles,
coins, rubber bands, tacks, paper clips, broken balloons
bobby pins and breakable items picked up. Kittens love
little tidbits to chew on or tote around. If they are
accessible to your kitten , she could swallow sharp
objects which could be fatal. Same thing holds true with
decorations, especially around holidays. Breakable
Christmas tree ornaments and tinsel should be kept off
limits.
Make sure to keep the garage off limits! There are too
many deadly chemicals and hazards lurking in a garage.
Anti-freeze has a sweet taste to a kitten or cat but is
deadly. Obviously vehicles are another reason to keep
your kittenout of the garage.
Kitchens and bathrooms also pose risks. Keep toilet lids
down and tubs and sinks drained. A kitten can easily
drown in these places. Cabinets are a fun place for a
kitten to explore but they usually contain cleaners and
detergents that would be harmful to your kitten . Make
sure to keep such items out of reach or get child safety
latches to keep her out of those areas.
Keep appliance doors like washer, dryers and dishwashers
closed. Always check before starting appliances to make
sure your kitten didn't climb inside while you
weren't looking, especially the dryer! Kittens love to
snuggle up in warm places.
Traps and poisons left out can also be fatal to a
kitten. Make sure to place any such items where your
kitten cannot find them. Certain plants are also
dangerous to be safe put plants up or in rooms where
your kitten doesn't have access.
One of the best ways to keep your kitten safe is to have
a "safe-place". This is a room where you can place your
kitten when you first get her home. This is also the
place where your kitten stays while you are not home and
while you cannot keep an eye on her, like when you are
away from home or at night. Stock this room with food,
fresh water, litter box, plenty of toys, scratching post
and a comfy bed. This will ago give your kitten a chance
to get used to her new environment.

KITTEN LAYETTE
A bed is a great way to give your kitten a safe place to
relax. Look for a bed that is warm, lightweight and
comfortable but that has a washable cover. Keep away
from wicker or rattan as they can be difficult to keep
clean and could break apart and become a choke hazard.
Keep in mind you may have picked a perfect bed, but your
kitten may pick her own, like your pillow!
A cat carrier is essential for safe trips to the vet or
travel. It needs to be large enough for your kitten to
stand up in and turn around comfortably. Make sure you
allow for growth. Lightweight plastic or fiberglass tend
to be the best, however make sure it is well ventilated.
Food and water dishes. Stainless steel is the best
choice, ceramic would be a nice second. They are easily
cleaned, which should be done daily. Plastic is known to
cause chin acne in cats. Cats do not like to soil their
whiskers so keep that in mind while you are looking.
Make sure and place your kittens food and water bowls a
good distance away from the litter box.
A high quality food is essential for maintaining good
health. Don't try saving a few pennies on cheap
inexpensive cat food. You will not save anything in the
long run. A high quality diet means less shedding, less
waste, and less health problems. We use Iams Adult /
Iams Kitten . . Any change in her diet can disrupt
digestion causing diarrhea and/or vomiting as can stress
and change of water . We recommend a six day transition
plan. Day one and two 30/70, day three and four 50/50,
day five and six 70/30 and full transition on the
seventh day.
A brush and comb are also necessary for this breed. Your
kitten will be used to being groomed when you bring her
home. Don't let daily grooming scare you. A daily once
over does not take that much time and it will prevent
her from matting and tangling. It also cuts down on
shedding and keeps her coat healthy. Make sure to get
under her legs where there tends to be a much greater
potential for matting.
Your kitten will also need a litter box. We use the Tidy
Cat , cat litter. I find this setup to be easier
to maintain and it lasts longer. It is important to keep
a clean litter box for you cat. Most litter box behavior
problems can be traced back to dirty litter boxes. The
litter boxes with the snap on lids are also nice as they
keep litter from getting kicked out and it allows your
kitten some privacy when using the facilities! Scoop out
the litter box every day, empty and disinfect it once a
week with a mild bleach solution and rinse very, very
well! Maintaining a clean litter box is also vital to
your kittens health.
A scratching post will prevent your furniture and
curtains from becoming your kittens exercise equipment.
It is natural for your cat to scratch. It tones a
kitten's muscles and maintains her claws. Never hit a
cat for scratching. A light spray from a water bottle
will deter her from things that are off limits and take
her to her scratching post. Make sure the base is wide
and heavy to prevent tipping. Also, cats seem to prefer
rough coverings like rope, burlap or low-pile carpet.
Entice her to her post by rubbing a little catnip on it.
She will quickly learn to use her new work out
equipment.
Toys, toys, toys! Balls, furry mice, feathers, jingly
bells. Again there are many to chose from, just make
sure that you check each for safety and durability. Many
great toys are right in your own home. Kittens love ping
pong balls, a plastic hair curler, anything that can be
batted around and make noise. Blow bubbles and watch her
try to catch them. Cut holes in cardboard boxes, great
for a game of hide and seek. An empty prescription
bottle with dry cat food placed inside, oatmeal boxes,
wads of foil. It never fails the ultimate fun toy for
every kitten has always been the plastic ring from the
milk gallon jug, go figure! They love paper sacks to hid
in, just make sure to never give your Gem a plastic bag,
they could easily suffocate.

INTRODUCING YOUR KITTEN
Coming into a new environment can be a traumatic
experience for a kitten. Make sure her first day or two
are quiet and without visitors. Keep her in her
"safe-room" as discussed above and be with her as much
as possible. This will allow your kitten to become
familiar with her new environment and also allow you to
observe her eating, drinking and elimination habits. And
you won't have to panic if you can't find her! Feed her
lightly the first day as she may be too nervous or too
busy exploring. After she eats, place her in her litter
box. Praise her when she is done taking care of
business.
Once she has settled in, carry her about the rest of her
new home and put her down in each room and allow her to
investigate the area before you move on. Resist the urge
to take your new kitten to bed with you. She is much too
small and accidents can happen! Help her settle in her
safe room. Give her a stuffed animal or and a
night light.
If there are young children at home they should be
taught how to care and handle a kitten. Try showing them
with a stuffed animal first. Make sure to caution very
young children to always sit on the floor when holding a
kitten. Give clear rules and reasons for them. Never
play rough or wild, no running around the kitten as it
could easily get stepped on. Teach them the importance
of keeping doors closed by telling them the dangers a
kitten could face outside. Explain that loud music,
screaming or yelling hurts the kittens ears. Make sure
they know the "NO" rules. NO poking, pinching, kicking,
pulling tail or ears and no hugging too hard--it hurts!
Explain that kittens need rest and they are not to
disturb her when she is eating or sleeping or in her
safe-room. Never leave a child under the age of six
alone with a kitten. Either of them could get hurt.
This does not mean that children can't share in the
excitement of the new family member. Let them help groom
her and feed her. Allow them supervised cuddle and play
time with her. As she grows your kitten will know better
how to protect herself and learn trust and the children
will have learned how to follow the rules.
Although your Kitten is used to bathing, hair dryers and
grooming, it is not usually on the list of a felines
favorite thing to do. Avoid the trauma of a bath the
first week or two unless she is in dire need of it.
If you are bringing home your Kitten into a home that
has established pets, please make sure to take extra
precautions. Cats and dogs are territorial, never allow
established pets access to a new kitten without strict
supervision. Introduce your new kitten slowly. You can
place the kitten in a carrier in a room where your other
pets are, like the living room. So as not to stress your
new kitten only do it for short periods of time. Expect
some not so thrilled reactions from the old timers,
hissing, batting, growling will probably all take place.
Give it time and patience. Increase the time with the
carrier gradually each day. When there seems to be no
aggressive behavior, you may introduce them while you
are holding the kitten. Continue to work with them
gradually always supervised until you are certain they
are comfortable with each other. Never allow them to be
alone until you are certain they have accepted each
other. Pay extra attention to your old buddies during
this transitional phase, they will also need reassurance
during this transition.


Thank you for taking an interest in Our Kittens!
