Thread: Shopping List for new MC

Hi WileyCat,if you are getting a cat tree it will cover both options as the posts normally double up as a scratching post,mine all do use it, very often after I have clipped their nails,reckon they use it as their emery board.
There is another thread going on at the moment about carriers so have a read up on there but it really is down to your preference,all I would say though is whatever you pick make sure it has a top opening,some have both front & top,if cat is not keen on going in carrier it is a lot easier to drop them in from above,but,heaven forbid,if cat has an accident of any kind its a lot easier to place & get out through a top opening carrier,working at a vets I have spent a lot of time along with the vet trying to get a very badly injured cat out of a front only opening basket,also if the cat happens to be a bit firey it is easier to grab from the top than having to put your hands inside the carrier {not that I would expect that behaviour from a MC}...
I started off with the white wire carriers which I do like,nice for the cats to be able to see out & very strong but also have got the sof krate because with having so many cats we were running out of storage space & the crate collapses flat & find that equally as good,over to you....! Nearly as hard as choosing your kitten..
