Cats need certain things so before you get your cat or kitten, you might want to make sure you have everything they need before they come to your home. Below is a list of the different accessories you will need in order to make a home for your cat. The list will be followed in more detail as to what you need to consider with each item.

•    Food bowl
•    Cat food
•    Water bowl
•    Litter box
•    Litter box materials
•    Cat bed
•    Scratching post
•    Cat carrier
•    Cat Toys
•    Cat leash
•    Cat collar
•    Cat harness
•    Grooming tools

Although these seem like simple items, if you have never owned a cat there are certain things to consider before you go out and buy the most expensive of everything. The food and water bowl does not have to cost you a fortune. You do not have to go out and buy one with your pets name on it unless you want to. Mainly they just need to be easy to clean and heavy so they won’t tip over easily. Because it is possible that your cat might be allergic to plastic, it might be a good precautionary note to opt for the stainless steel bowls.

Unless you plan on teaching your cat how to use the toilet like in a popular movie, you will need to purchase a litter box and everything that goes in it.

Your pet needs a place in which they can lay down, sleep, and take a nap. A cat bed will also help keep your cat from taking its naps on your bed or couch. This doesn’t mean that you have to spend a fortune, but it does mean that you need to look for something comfortable.

Your choice will depend on your cat’s sleeping habits and what will fit best in your home. Also don’t be irritated if your cat doesn’t take to its new sleeping domain right away, it might take time or your cat might not adapt to it at all. A good tip is to find a bed that is washable so that any messes are easy to clean. It’s also a good idea to put the bed wherever your cat likes to sleep or in a quiet area.
