Advice First time cat owner

Post image

Hey guys, I just got a cat yesterday and it’s my first time owning a pet in general. When i brought it in my house yesterday, dude was a lil scared I think cuz of the environment and went under my couch a couple of times. So I moved him to my laundry room, just to get him in one small room so he wouldn’t escape or freak out.

This morning I checked in on him and he’s doing better and cuddling with me.

Just wanna say I’ll appreciate any advice as a first time cat owner

He needs a partner or two. If cats can play with each other, they won’t need to play with you as much.

Not always. I have 3 cats and none of them are very fond of each other. My orange has been waking me up lately by climbing on top of me.

not really an option for me, she has been moved from fosters a few times because she doesn't do well with other animals or kids. im just going to try to get her on my schedule.... little by little
