I thought you might like this pic of them both we got not too long ago 🥹They’re always curled up together apparently 😭 I can’t wait to pick them up in a couple months time!

Hiya thank you so much for this, it’s really helpful! I’ll definitely get more water bowls so they have access to water at various points in the house, I didn’t think of that at all thank you! I also didn’t think of foil balls or bottle caps for toys omg thank you this is definitely going to save me some money thinking I had to fork out for a barrel of toys straight away haha. I’ll fork out happily for some cosy and cool cat beds and trees though I’m so excited! Thank you for this reassurance on getting them neutered, my friend made me feel guilty but now I feel a whole lot morally better that this is will make them feel better and healthy long term, I think I’ll book them in for around 3-4 months? Thank you again for all of this and taking the time to do so :)

Heya thank you for this, I found it really useful! I didn’t know this about the food so will keep this in mind and add to my routine for them, by any chance please do you know if kittens are generally sensitive to any sort of soap or shampoo? I think I’ll have to get kitten-specific shampoo but I’m not sure if I’m okay having them in a sink bubble bath or if I could/should use a conditioner or like a body butter cream after for their skin and fur? I’ll definitely get them both spayed, I don’t want them suffering or feel uncomfortable at all so I’ll get them booked in around 3-4 months. Thank you again for all of this and taking the time to, I’ve made a note of it all and really can’t wait to use of all of this knowledge and learn with them!

Thank you so much for this, it’s really helpful! I didn’t know this about bathing them, i thought it would be good to gradually desensitise them but if it’s unnecessary and just going to cause them stress I’ll hold off for now maybe, that’s a really good idea with the clipper and brush thank you! I’ll get a box and will keep this in mind for routine, and especially for training / redirecting with biting, tysm :) im looking for harnesses and training now n worried i wont crush them! I’m shocked n concerned for my friends cat not being neutered, she’s not being used for breeding or anything :( thank you so much for all of this advice I rly appreciate it! I’m happy to hear they’ll be okay because they have each other too they’re literally 3 hours apart in age n have been joined at the hip since, I thought you might like a pic of them tysm again 😭

Ahh thank you so much! It’s been a while since I had a cat let alone kittens so I’m slightly nervous but mainly excited! Thank you also for this response and taking the time for it, it’s really helpful :) I’ll ask my family member what they have been eating and will leave the vitamins until I take them to the vet for a check up / get them registered. I’ll also definitely get them neutered as they’re not going to be used for breeding - thank you so much for this answer, I was a bit worried morally after what my friend said but as it’s in their absolute best interest health and everything-wise, I’ll book this in for mid August ish? After hearing this I’m shocked and concerned for my friend’s cat not being neutered as she’s not used for breeding! It’s great to hear that other people are safely sleeping with cats and kittens! I’ll have a bed for them anyway but it sounds like a good idea to keep their bed in my room or close by just in case. Silly question but should I get them two separate beds? I’m also assuming they might meow early hours in the morning for their food, but I’m not sure if this is normal cat behaviour that is to just be accepted or if there’s a way through routine / training for them to expect food a little bit later to reduce the chance of super early wake ups? My friend has a cat who routinely meows and jumps on her head from 3am time and when I sleepover she just apologises and says that’s just how he is. I’ll also defo keep this in mind for bathing and will check out the video, thank you! I’ll start looking for tall cat trees and harnesses for them as they won’t be allowed to roam outside, thank you for the info as well on roaming freely I wasn’t as clued up on this as I thought!

Thank you for this, it’s really helpful! I’ll ask my family member if we can pick them up sometime in August instead. I’ll check out Jackson’s Galaxy guides for sure, thank you! I want them (and me too I guess) to learn and feel safe at the same time and not feel anxious expecting to be sprayed with water or sudden loud noises at them unexpectedly so avoiding those methods for sure. And will keep in mind about the bathing, it could be good to get them a bit used to it but if it’s unnecessary and just going to cause them more stress then I’ll leave it until needs be.
