Before bringing a cat home
you need to make your house cat proof, it’s not just for the cats safety but helps protect your goodies too. Make sure there are no loose wires they can get themselves tangled up in such as blind cords. Tidy away and electrical cables, I’ve known kittens who love trying to chew through them. Check if your house plants are poisonous to cats, as many are. If they are, you can guarantee your cat will try to eat them (after all curiosity killed the cat), so give them away to friends or family. Your cat will see areas of your home you haven’t seen in a long time so get down on the floor and see if there are any hazards at that level too.

Some cat owners are happy with one cat, some love to be surrounded by as many cats as they can comfortably fit in their homes. If you’ll like me you’ll start with one, then a year or two later fall in love with second cat, that you just HAVE to take home.
If you are going to bring a second cat into the house there are a few things you may want to take into consideration. If you’re cat is home alone during the daytime, and many are, then bringing another cat or kitten into the family may be enjoyable for your first cat. The same is applicable for older cats who enjoy the energy of younger cats or kittens.
