Hi, i have a little sister very fond of pets ( especially dogs ), and we recently found a cat in our yard looking lost. so we took it in the home, it scratched my sister on the hand . nothing serious though, and its been good ever since. i fed it canned cat food, about 1/2 cup or so. and right now its sleeping in one of our guest rooms on the sofa. well we never had any pets except fish, which we know a lot about. unfortunately we know nothing about cats, but we want to keep it if we can. now here comes the questions.
1) what should i do next, take it to a local vet, and get checkups??
2) what is the proper handling process when taking it to the vet, hold it , put it in the car , lock doors, and go, it wont go crazy, right?
3) is it safe to pet and touch?
4) should i be scared of any diseases from it??
5) it keeps rubbing its sides against doors, it did it 3 times already, is it alright??
6)what are the most important cat keeping tips i should know before adopting it?? what type of equipment to buy, how to train to use cat liter? what type foods it can eat, and what it can drink.
sorry for all these silly questions, but just want to make sure this cat will be happy? add anything you like that i missed, thanks sincerely
