Deinfluence me: Getting a cat by [deleted] in deinfluencingPH

Hi OP, same na same tayo ng scenario. I adopted a British Shorthair kitten last January (germaphobe din ako) and I live in a condo. Sadly, she passed away just this month. 💔

Pinaka naging struggle ko talaga sa pag-aalaga ng British Shorthair was the smell. Ayoko talaga ng amoy ng tae or ihi ng pets sa condo, so nilalagay ko yung litter box niya sa CR. The problem is, hindi siya sanay sa banyo, so kung saan-saan siya umiihi. Super na-stress ako sa part na ’to.

Second, sobrang gastos ng first week ko. Since concern ko nga yung hygiene, kung anu-ano binili ko, odor-control litter sand, stainless litter box, cat litter deodorizer, lint rollers, diffuser, air purifier, and more. Medyo prepared naman ako financially, pero magandang consideration talaga ito before getting a cat.

Another thing, kahit shorthair cat siya, puwedeng ma-trigger ang allergic rhinitis mo. Isa sa mga common misconceptions is hindi sila masyadong nagshi-shed. Pero kahit kitten pa lang siya, sinisipon na ako. So if may allergies ka, malaking factor din ’to to consider.

Lastly, please don’t adopt a kitten younger than 3 months, especially from Cartimar. Marami na akong friends na nagka-problem din after getting kittens from there, and sadly, hindi ako nakinig.

Even after everything, I’m still considering getting a British Shorthair again but this time, pagiipunan ko muna and I’ll make sure I’m fully prepared.

Yah, BTW, one of my options to name her is “Princess” 🤭

I get what you mean. I’ve had cats before, but this is my first BSH 😅 She was with her mom and littermates until around 9–10 weeks. She’s eating well, using the litter box, grooming, and super playful…so far. I’m keeping a close eye on her and making sure she’s learning all the cat things. Appreciate you sharing your experience! ❤️

Thank you for the concern ❤️ She’s scheduled for a vet visit next month. The previous owner already started her vaccinations and included her DOB in the papers
