Thread: Preparing for new MC

whatever you do, don't leave your really expensive wireless phone headset out in the open, those nasty monsters can chew stuff. Also they have a habit of going over the shelves and checking of things that can fall. The rule is: if it can be pushed off a shelf, it shouldn't be on it, and kitty will help making sure that rule is followed to the letter - some rules, kitty likes. Seriously, you should have seen our house after Hurricane Neevie first went through it!

It is so exciting getting a kitten! My only advice is to keep you laptop closed when not using it! Ginger has adjusted my setting several times and may have sent out a few emails She is always knocking things off our desks, so now we try and keep the office door closed when it is not in use! Good luck and have fun with the new kitten!

its a great feeling,but a nervous one in the early days,maxwell had our optical cable out of our tv which is on the wall

I am so excited for you ! I am new and awaiting my baby to also trying to get things right and the replies you have had I have taken heed of to. I cant offer you advise cos this is a steep learning curve for me to but I am excited for you. Hope we see plenty of pics when Chiyo comes home. x

I'm so excited for you! My tips: Do not leave valuable rings, earrings etc on your vanity unattended - they like to claim shiny things as their own (ask me how I know!). Keep toilet seats down. Ditto about keeping laptops, iPads and desktop keyboards protected from curious paws. Keep your camera ready. Be prepared to laugh at something new everyday!

Can't wait to see pictures! Beware of leaving any food out, wrapped or unwrapped. If Chiyo can reach it, she may eat it. Our guy loves to eat 1st then decide if it's edible or not and if he likes it or not. He'll also be there in a blink eating whatever we've dropped before it hits the floor.

Check out the "Dear Cat, Some House Rules..." thread under the "Off Topic Area" of the Forum. This may also answer questions about what the little furball can get into. There are a ton of posts in the thread, which may seem overwhelming, but it's good reading and provides belly laughs.

Best wishes.

is Chiyo there yet??

Sorry been a bit distracted for a couple of days! Tomorrow is the big day! Picking her up at 10am I can't wait I half expect to get home from work tonight and go straight to bed just so it can be tomorrow! Also thanks for all the great advise! I'm over thinking most of this and it will probably be much easier than I am anticipating :P Trying to decide if it's better to open the carrier in the bathroom 1st so she sees the litter box first or the living room so she see's food first :P think I'll go for the bathroom got an hour and a half drive home 1st so I think she would appreciate that more she can find the food later
