Hi, just adopted my first pair of cats ever...they are my first pets. I'm very excited and nervous at the same time. I have a whole bunch of questions. My two girls are both dozing off in the living room. Both unfortunately, are sick and will need meds for the next two weeks. URIs and parasites. In any case, I want to do my best for them.
I want to buy a tall cat tree and have seen a number of sites online. Can you recommend reputable sites? I've seen trees for $120-150 and they look to be very good deals but I worry about the stability and quality of such trees. These trees are usually made of pressed wood. Are they worth the $$? I'm not sure I can splash out for the $300-400 ones. Not after today's vet visit and possible return visits if the meds do no work.
I also noticed that one of them is slowly but surely scratching my sofa. I've got some cardboard for them, but she's not getting the point. Her sister scratches it just a tiny bit so I think she's getting the message. A very nice person has offered to give me her scratching post if her cats continue to ignore it...but I'm not sure I can wait any longer. Meanwhile, I'm guarding my sofa...
