Re: Thinking about adopting

by "Rene S." <rschweitzer@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Jul 2, 2008 at 06:20 AM

Hello,

Because of your schedule, I'd suggest adopting two cats (perhaps
there's a bonded adult pair already at your shelter?) They could keep
each other company while you're out. I originally had just one cat but
now that I have two, I'll never go back to having just one.

Ah, the food issue. I'd suggest (and use myself) a grain free wet
food, such as Wellness or Nature's Variety. Here's a good article on
feline nutrtition: http://www.catinfo.org/

As for litter, as Dakota said, different cats may prefer different
litters. You might start by seeing what brand the shelter uses, since
the cat is used to that, and slowly transition to another brand. I
like Everclean unscented, but I started using the more "green"
scoopable Feline Pine and my cats like that too. You can even offer a
few boxes with different litters and see what your cat(s) prefer.

Good luck and let us know who you decide to adopt.
