Tips for Welcoming Your New Cat Home
Bringing home a new cat is an exciting time for everyone. Here are a few tips to help your furry friend acclimate to their new surroundings:
- Provide a safe space: Set up a designated room with food, water, a litter box, and a cozy bed where your cat can feel secure as they adjust to their new environment.
- Introduce gradually: Allow your cat to explore their new home at their own pace. Don’t force interaction; instead, let them come to you when they’re ready for affection.
- Be patient and understanding: It takes time for a cat to adjust to a new home and family. Be patient and provide plenty of love and reassurance.
