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

If you get a cat tree and you're on the first floor (or don't mind using a ladder), put it by a window and get one of these!

ETA: Birds visit the feeder quite frequently, but in this pic, that’s actually a squirrel on the neighbor’s fence

There are cat videos on YouTube. They love them, too. We’re going to have you spending ALL your money on the little critter, just as we have.
