When you bring a cat into your home, you should do a little reading up on taking care of a cat. Even before you bring your cat home, you need to make a couple of decisions: will the cat be an indoor or outdoor cat (or maybe both), where the litter box will be kept, and what toys will you need (a scratching post is recommended). You will have to put some thought into what brand or type of food you will be feeding your cat (if you are getting your cat from a breeder, they will make a recommendation on what to feed your new cat).
Once you have made all of these decisions and have your new cat, the next step in taking care of a cat is a veterinarian appointment. Many times, when you get a new cat you will be told that they have their shots and have been de-wormed (especially if it is a kitten). But you should still make an appointment with your own vet to have a thorough check-up done and to find out when the cat needs to come back for a booster and discuss spaying or neutering options. Even if you choose to keep your cat indoors, it is still a good idea to bring in your feline friend for a check-up.
The best part of taking care of a cat is the love and attention you give each other. Cats are very affectionate and thrive on being your companion. Enjoy your new pet, and take good care of him or her and they will always be there for you.
