cat-in-stroller Getting a cat does require you to purchase some extra items before he or she arrives in  your home.  In order to make a home for your cat, you will need some (most) of the  following items, such as: food bowl, water bowl, cat food, litter box, litter box materials,  cat bed, scratching post, cat carrier, cat toys, cat leash, cat collar, cat harness and  grooming tools.

Although these seem like simple items, if you have never owned a cat there are certain  things to consider before you go out and buy the most expensive of everything.

Your cat must eat and drink, however the food and water bowl does not have to cost  you a fortune.  Mainly they just need to be easy to clean and heavy so they won’t tip  over easily.  You also need to make sure that your cat has food and water in their bowls as well.  Unless you plan on teaching your cat how to use the toilett, you will need to purchase a litter box and everything that goes in it.  This involves the litter box, the scoop, and the litter.   And don’t forget the entertainment part.   Toys, scratching post and if your are planning to take your cat outside, then consider a three or four-wheeled cat stroller for their safety.
