EVERYTHING I WISH I KNEW BEFORE ADOPTING A KITTEN

New cat mom as of 11-11-23!!! His name is Topher-Pips :D

She is so beautiful!!❤❤❤

Not Cute?! Uni is absolutely gorgeous. That pretty face! 😍🥰

you got her at 5weeks??? kittens can only be separated from their mum at 8-10weeks. that’s probably why she was scared

Ahhh i used Pet finder to find my cat

The way she jumped when she saw running water 🤧 There are lots of helpful vids to do research showing how to bathe a cat without scaring them, it’s one of most difficult and potentially painful tasks that cat owners deal with 😂

My cat loved sneaking in my drawer to take naps, and on multiple occasions I’ve closed the drawer with him still in there, obviously not on purpose. I’ve also accidentally left him in the bathroom after leaving for work 😅🤣 my poor baby😅😅😅

Seems like the original owner thought they were ugly because they were still very young and developing! My family's cat just had kittens and yes, when they are just a few weeks old their eyes & ear open at different rates - a little alien like. Sounds like he was very irresponsible, kittens that young shouldn't be going outside before they get their vaccines and are big enough to not be swept up by a hawk! They should also not be taken away from their mother until 10-12 weeks old so that they can develop healthy social behaviors and get all the nutrition they need from their mothers milk. Most kittens are taken at 8 weeks unfortunately but the more time with mom the better! You did the right thing doing all your research and giving her space and a flea bath etc. I take my baby home next week & can't wait. Enjoy your best friend!

i come here a little late hehe. its been 3 years, idk if u know this; but i gonna say it anyway for the sake of all cat parents.
Because cats licks themselves clean, sometimes you gotta treat them with cat grass. not only would they make them feel high and satisfied (just like human drugs lol) but also help cats vomit the little "hair balls" out, as they have collected when they clean themselves.

It's a calico

What up with people and hating on black cats, they’re my favourite 😭

Probably missed her friend too

im getting kitten today!!

Omg I have a little calico girl too and she is just as feisty the first bath was hard!

Where did you get the sushi cat toy?!?!

My mom found a kitten on the side of the road and I'm gonna take him home today

and uni is just so adorable

u r so pretty

Idk why the man giving away the kittens said she wasn’t cute. I think she’s adorable ❤❤❤ and those long patches of fur behind her ears is so cute. And her markings are beautiful. It looks like she’s wearing white eyeliner underneath her eyes. Sooo cute. Thanks for sharing your story.

Wow! I don't expect that my cat would do this because he is bred for a calm temprament, but this is very informative. AND HOW DARE THE GUY SAY SHE'S MNOT CUTE 😢

yes it actually means sleep in estionian

Everything this lady said is true! Learning also.

Who shoulndt have a pet
-If you arent willing to pay for shots, vaccinations, spay/neuter, vet bills when they get sick or (what really pizzes me off) is when moving find a place that takes pets, know most dont

IF youre the type to give yours up or abandon it dont get one in the first place
Need to make a 10+ yr potential commitment.
Cats, dogs have feelings, thoughts, emotions, dreams just like we do. THey are like little people
If you cant pick up after them, fresh water/food/clean the box ea day, replace all litter at least 1x a month. Dont get one period its not for you. Neither is having children.
Patience is needed, yelling at them they learn nothing.

This was very helpful ty so much I just got a medium haired orange kitten thx!

She's a calico.

The playing with the laptop and peeing on the bed 😩

"close to black and not looking cute"?! Tf does that mean?!?

You can put a collar with a bell on her

You can try putting cirus spray on sofas, furniture, etc. to keep the cat away

I’m getting a new kitten on Sunday and I’m sooo nervous

You should never put a kitten under running water - and certainly not strong running water at that. Bad decision 👎

for those who are wondering why your cat is not using “ Cat bed” just put it on ur couch and make it a routine for them to rest,sleep in it

I’m guessing a lot of these opinions would be different by now as many of these traits can be attributed to the fact that she’s still a kitten 😉

You can trim thier claws. Put puffers on counters and places you don't want her on/

this is VERY IMPORTANT , when washing fleas off your cat, DO put dish soap around your cats neck. If you don't do this the fleas will go to the cats head like shown in the video and you should NOT wash a cats head entirely, you can use a wet cloth but it won't get rid of the fleas, so ALWAYS put dish soap around your cats neck when washing him/her. -veterinarian

She's going to eat that cat 😑

I applied for a cat that looks like her :D im waiting for good news! abd btw shes beautiful :D

Ohhh mannn, my kitty is same as yours. Every single activity 😅

Cats never ever ever end up sleeping in their bed. My cat sleeps everywhere but her bed she sleeps on the couch in my bed under my bed in my bathtub on the couch under the couch behind chairs in dirty laundry on the countertops in closets. But not her bed. 😑

Uni is absolutely adorable

First of all, don't feed your cats where they're meant to get water, too. Put their water ABOVE the floor-level, like on a cat tower or window ledge. This will help them stay hydrated, lack of hydration will kill them as they get older (as well as putting water in their food). Also, don't put the litter box in a high-traffic area, or behind a loud appliance. Place it in a "home-base" then move it into a quiet, sterile environment where the cat feel safe to come and go at their own desire. Two litter boxes for one cat, three for two, four for three and so on. Cats are not meant to use the bathroom in ONE place, it's against their natural habitat and it may cause them to use the bathroom in bad spaces.

hi, great video:) i just wanted to point out something that you may already know since this was uploaded a while ago, but maybe it might help a new viewer. i noticed the clips right at the end of Uni panting, that is a sign that something is wrong with a cat, its definitely not normal like it is with dogs. Panting in cats might be caused by high stress or being severely overheated, or a sign of health issues like asthma or heart problems. If you have a cat that starts to pant you really want to find out the cause so that you can help them, because they are not feeling alright.
Hope this helps!

Yay I give my boy Wellness foods too. I grow kitty grass and he always has it. Look how cute she is watching you.

Would it make sense when adopting a kitten to book a cat vet first and arrange for a first day and overnight there for a check up, flea bath, nail clipping and overall investigation of the animal before you bring the animal into your home. And I can’t believe the person from whom you obtained her gave her to you in that condition.

OMG, you should have mentioned that we need to have pet insurance. It is only under $30/month and if you have to take them to the vet, 90% of costs are covered. WTF is this video for? I need to save as much money as possible and have now spent over 2k for both my kittens due to surgeries etc. STUPID VIDEO

I agree! That's a cute kitten! You did the right thing girlfriend. Good for you!😊 I hope you have all kinds of love and happiness from him. I unfortunately lost my cat of nine years a few months ago and I am still very sad. I'm looking for a kitten but I just too hard for a .... "replacement" .
