Introduction

Kittens are the cutest. They’re small, fluffy, and love to play. Even if you’ve never had one before, you probably know what I’m talking about. If this is your first time owning a kitten, congratulations! Kittens can be fun and rewarding pets—but they do require lots of attention and care. Here’s some advice for getting started with your new companion:

Have you got a kitten?

Have you just adopted a kitten? Congratulations! You’re one of the lucky ones—you get to share your home with an adorable little ball of fluff, who will make you smile every day.

You may be wondering how to take care of your new cat and what it means for your life. No need to worry; we’ve got everything covered here at Happy Kitten Year (HKY). We hope this blog helps with any questions or concerns about owning a kitten and being part of the HKY community.

First things first: if you want to know more about kittens in general, then check out our website at https://www.happykittenyear.com/about/. It has lots of useful information on what it takes to care for a cat properly, as well as advance tips on how best spend time with them. There’s also an “Ask the Vet” section where people can ask questions directly related specifically towards their own pets’ health needs!

If you have just adopted a kitten, then congratulations!

If you have just adopted a kitten, then congratulations! Kittens are great pets. They can be fun and easy to care for, they are cute and cuddly, they are playful and energetic, they can be trained to do tricks (although sometimes it will take longer than with other animals), they can be very affectionate, and they can also be very vocal. A kitten is a great companion.

Having a kitten is very expensive.

• Food. Kittens need to eat kitten food, which can be expensive. You might have to buy multiple types of it depending on your kitten’s age and health status.
• Litter and litter box. Kittens will go through a lot of litter boxes, especially if you’re the type who cleans them once every week or so (and you should be!). If you’re going to own a cat, get used to buying replacement bags for your litter box pretty much every month or two.
• Vet bills. Sooner or later your kitten will get sick—even if they don’t look sick at first—and they’ll need medicine from the vet’s office that costs $40 per visit with any luck (or more). It’s best not to think about how many times this happens per year because it will make you cry…more than just being responsible for another living creature does already!

For the first few weeks, keep your kitten away from other animals.

For the first few weeks, keep your kitten away from other animals. Kittens are curious and mischievous, so it can be easy for them to get into trouble if you don’t watch them closely. It is often best to keep a new kitten indoors for their first month or two just in case there is an accident that could hurt the pet or another animal in the household.

It is also important to keep kittens away from children until they are at least 8 weeks old. Younger children may not know how to handle a kitten and could accidentally hurt them by pulling their tail or stepping on them. This can lead to behavior problems down the road because it will teach your kitten that they should be afraid of humans.

Your kitten will need lots of toys.

It’s important to provide your kitten with a wide range of toys, as they’re all important in their own way.

• Play toys: You’ll need something to play with your kitten in the first couple months. Old socks and plastic bags are good for this. Don’t worry about getting things that look like cat toys; kittens don’t know what they’re supposed to like or dislike yet!
• Developmental toys: After a few months, you’ll have a better idea of what kinds of things your kitten likes and dislikes. At this point, you can buy some developmentally appropriate toys such as stuffed mice and balls on string, which will help him develop his stalking abilities and coordination skills respectively.
• Relaxation/stress relievers: As he gets older still (and no longer needs any sort of stimulation), it’s important that he has something fun he can do by himself when you leave him alone at home for long periods of time — maybe even overnight? Toy mice are great because they’re quiet but effective enough that most cats will find them interesting without being too stressful or loud if you don’t want them around during certain situations (i.e., dinner parties).

Your kitten will love going outside when it gets bigger.

Your kitten may be small, but it is a hunter. As your kitten grows and becomes more independent, you will want to let it go outside so that it can get exercise and hunting practice. In addition to this, cats like being outside because they can smell the world and see the world without having to climb up on high surfaces.

You should keep your cat inside until it’s fully grown.

Remember that kitten is still a baby. Your cat won’t be fully grown for at least 2 years and possibly up to 4 or 5, depending on the breed. Kittens are curious by nature and may want to explore your yard or neighborhood—and if they do, they could get hurt or possibly run away and never come back.

It’s also important that your new pet remain indoors until it has been spayed or neutered (or at least until you have decided not to have that done). This can help prevent unwanted litters of kittens as well as reduce some of the behaviors associated with mating in cats, such as spraying urine around the house

Kittens like to chew things, so make sure you’re careful what you give them to play with.

Kittens like to chew things, so make sure you’re careful what you give them to play with. Some of the toys that work well for kittens are ones made of fake fur or rubber, and some even include a catnip scent that will attract your kitten’s attention. You can also buy special toys designed specifically for kittens, which are made from materials that are safe for their teeth and gums.

Because kittens love to pounce on things and bat them around in the air, it’s important not to let them play with electrical cords or mouse traps—they can get hurt if they chew on these objects! Instead, try giving them something safer like one of their own toys instead; this way your kitten will still be able to explore their wild side while staying safe at home with you

A happy kitten will sleep a lot.

You’ve probably noticed that kittens sleep a lot. They spend up to 18 hours a day snoozing, and even when they’re awake they’re often yawning. The reason for this is simple: kittens need sleep in order to grow. Kittens’ bodies are growing at an incredible rate, so they need plenty of rest in order to repair themselves after playing!

Kittens like to play during the evening and night—so if you have an indoor kitten, it’s likely that he’ll be asleep most of the day. However, as he gets older he’ll stay awake longer than before (he might even want some of your attention).

Kittens can be fun and rewarding pets

Kittens are cute, cuddly and energetic. They can be a source of play for both you and your children, giving them the exercise that they need to keep their minds sharp and healthy. Kittens are also a great way to teach children responsibility; once kids have to care for something other than themselves it teaches them how important it is to look after others.

When you adopt a kitten from a shelter it reduces the number of animals in shelters which helps reduce overpopulation problems that many shelters face today. This means that fewer cats will be euthanized because there aren’t enough homes available for them all!
