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

Be patient with him too! Hes gonna cause you a lot of frustration along with the love and companionship until he learns all the rules. I remember my first few months with my orange son I had days where I wondered if I just wasn't cut out for cat life and I now say its "the best decision I ever made". Enjoy !!

You’re a freakin’ Scrooge! I mean, really, one bed for three cars! They look so miserable, all crammed in there together 🤣🤣🤣. /s obviously, cause they are adorable.

Would you like a Lörge, medum, or smöl?
