  • Sup all.

    So we've taken the big step to adopt a cat (few weeks away). As a new cat parents, can I please ask what the hive mind says should we get to make a happy cat home? I'll probably have loads of questions as the weeks go by.
    So... Littler box? Thinking Teflon stainless steel litter box with clumping litter? Which kind is recommended?

    We'll be getting tree, wall hammocks and things for the living room for when we're in the living space. And same for around my office space.

    Last time I had a cat/s was in SA as a young child where they were outside cats and very independent. I'm not sure of an indoor cat or one that may like human contact.

    I'll start reading through the thread (don't stress) so 530pgs here we come!

    BTW, some great pics of kits.

  • In the end a lot of it depends on your cat, as (you will be aware) they're not all the same..

    The main thing about litter boxes is you have to keep them clean or they'll go elsewhere, so either need to scoop out the clumpy stuff regularly or get an automatic cat pooping machine for £749.

    Some cats can be "trained" to actually use scratching posts instead of your sofa etc. - it's worth a shot.
    Ours didn't like hammocks.
    Comfy (warm!) chill areas are always a hit, some say cats enjoy dark blue stuff there (blankets etc.)

    If you have time and money I'd really suggest building / buying some cool cat furniture so they can walk / climb around the flat!

  • After 8 years of daily scooping, we sprung for the expensive poop spaceship and never looked back. It’s been worth every penny so far…

  • cheers for the info!

    Ive heard mixed responses on the auto cat box... cant decide whether im in or out... I want to believe. Are there any where i would need to press a button rather than have sensors to activate on their departure?

    We're planning some hammocks above the sofa so he can be part of the family while looking down on us. Couple beds, couple trees.

    My partner is much more reserved on what is and isnt going to happen. Im threatening on a cat Union to get more things (jokes obvs)
