For a kitten, moving to a new home is a lot of stress. In addition to being torn from his mother, he was also brought to an unfamiliar place. Follow these simple tips to help your kitten get used to his home, his place and you faster.
The very first thing you should do is prepare a home for your kitten. Choose a spot in a quiet room and place a mat in there. Choose a place where the kitten will eat, and put two bowls there (for water and for food), and put a tray with sand or special litter in the toilet. The kitten needs to get used to what is where, so do not restrict it in movement. If he begins to hide under the bed or other hard-to-reach places, do not pull the kitten out. As soon as the kitten gets used to it, it will stop hiding.
Be affectionate with the kitten, do not forget to play with him. But immediately make it clear to him what is forbidden for him. Do not shout at him, speak in a low but stern voice. Refer to the kitten by name more often, so he will quickly remember his nickname and will respond.
For the first two to three weeks, try not to invite many people into the house. And don't let people pick up the kitten if the kitten doesn't want to.
Do not leave things that are dangerous for the kitten in the accessibility zone in the rooms: paint, cosmetics, small or sharp things, paper. The kitten can play and swallow anything, which can be very dangerous.
The kitten's claws are growing, and he needs to grind them. Take care of the scratching post so that the kitten does not spoil your furniture. You can buy a scratching post or make it yourself from a piece of wood.
Kittens love to play. Buy a few toys for him: fluffy fur mice, bright and colorful things, rustling candy wrappers. Kittens are hunters, so they will be happy to play with you, with your household and on their own.
If you leave your baby alone, remember to leave enough food, water and a clean toilet.
Your kitten will slowly get used to unfamiliar surroundings and will bring joy to everyone around.
