If you are considering getting a cat or kitten as an indoor pet, there are some things you need to consider. Choosing a good cat litter and spaying or neutering your kitten should be on the list. You may also want to consider getting your kitten declawed.

Choosing a good cat litter is very important, especially if you already have other cats or if you are planning on getting more than one cat or kitten. You will want to find a clumping cat litter to make the task of cleaning the litter box easier. If you plan to have more than one cat, be sure to get a cat litter made for multiple cats.

The placement of the litter box is almost as important as  choosing a good litter. Be sure to place the litter box where the cat(s) can get to it but other pets, such as dogs, can not (dogs seem to love eating cat litter). Also be sure to keep it out of reach of small children as they may think it is a sandbox for them to play in. Another option is to get an enclosed litter box which will help keep other pets and children out of the litter box.

Getting your new kitty fixed at an early age is important, especially if you have a male kitten. Once male kittens start to spray to mark their territory, it can be

difficult to get them to stop. Getting your male kitten fixed before he starts to spray should prevent him from doing it. If he does start to spray before you can get him fixed, he may not stop even after getting him  neutered.

Declawing a kitten is an important decision. If there is any chance your kitty will ever be outside for any reason, it is best to leave his claws intact. This is their defense against larger animals.  If there is no chance your kitten will be outside, you may want to have him declawed for the sake of your furniture. Kittens like to “sharpen” their claws on furniture and walls. I even have a cat who can climb the wall by digging his claws into the drywall. Needless to say, my wall is not very pretty.

As with any pet, before accepting the responsibility, be sure you are well prepared. Get all of your supplies first and then get the cat or kitten. Training the kitten to use the litterbox is easy; I normally just show them where it is and they always go back. Just be sire to keep the litter box clean or they may use the bathroom floor for dong their business.

Petco Products and Information
One of the most helpful sections of the site is the nutrition center. Nutrition is the first line of defense to keep your pet healthy. Good nutrition goes a long way but is obviously completely different then our own nutrition. Do you feed them once a day, twice a day, how much and what kind of food? The answers are completely different depending on the breed of animal, their age, their size and more. Use the nutrition center, more of a wizard, to walk you through questions and provide a suggestion.

Specialty Stores
Did you know they also have specialty stores. You would be surprised the information and products they have available. How about a dental care shop, or their cold weather gear. They have it all and it is quite amazing.
