First time cat owner

[u/PercentageJealous914]

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

One thing I do, is I've got a heavy leather glove i put on to play with them that mine can't bite through. They know hands are of limits, but get excited when they see that glove come out. They can go all out, 100% power with bites, clawing and kicking when I roughhouse with the glove. Helps em get some pent up energy out lol

We have a pair of welding gloves we use for wood stove stuff and they’re fantastic cat play gloves :D

One of my cats could bite through the heavy leather vet gloves.
