Reasons to not Declaw

• – It takes a long time to heal
• – It's one of their main defense mechanisms
• – They need it to knead/scratch to relieve stress. Declawing could make them act out.

Other necesseties besides the basics

• Toys! This is something you should not skimp out on.
• Cats are natural hunters. Anything they can chase is great like wands or electronic toys they can chase or try to catch.
• Any tiny toys are great too, but a fan favorite are springs! They are cheap and most cats love to swat them around.

Healthy Litter

• Many don't know the importance of litter, but that's okay because that's what we are here for!
• Things to think about:
• Things they are made of: Crystal, Natural (paper/tree), or Clay
• Natural litters - Are most likely to mess with allergys. Read packaging carefully or test it. Keep close attention to you and your cat.
• Clay litters - Can be clumping and non-clumping. These tend to be phsyically heavier and dustier than other options which can cause congestion problems.
• Crystal litters - This type is usually non-clumping and less dusty.
