Hey,
First off im new here, joined up to get advice and chat with other feline likers. Anyways my family owns two cats of which we adore but they are getting old and I have never personally had my own cat so I thought I would get my own kitten to raise and see it grow into a cat (we adopted our cats from a shelter.)
First off im 18 and I know a kitten is a lot of work I have done research and looked after my own cats. I just have a few questions before I go into this as I want to be as prepared as possible.
1) I have saved up $600 from my job towards a kitten and hoping this will cover basic vet fees and accessories for a while as my other cash is going towards schooling.
2) Is it okay to confine my kitten to a reasonably sized cardboard box padded down with its litter tray and food/water bowl in it? I mean of course I will play with it and watch it all the time but sometimes it will have to be confined when I pop out of my room for a second or two.
If theres anything else I should know please do let me know as im trying to gather as much information as I can.
Thanks!
