Thread: Preparing for new MC

Good luck with the most anticipated arrival! It is nice to know that others worry about the sames things I did! I made some mistakes but all in all it went well. I started with Miss Gingers box in the family room because we could gate the Beagles out. Then as she got bigger I moved it to our bathroom, I showed her the box and she never forgot! When she was spayed, I moved it back to the family room as I was concerned about her jumping the gate and then back to to the bathroom. She keeps up with the moves and thank goodness always finds the litter box! You will laugh and be so happy when you get your baby home!!! Try and relax and enjoy the new kitty.

heyyyyy happy day!!! do take plenty of pictures/videos!

yup same for Neevie and all my other cats - only time they did any kind of nasty business anywhere else was when I forgot to clean up their poopoo-house or once I decided it would be a good idea to put a flap on Neevie's one - so that... you know.... she can close the door and have some privacy... Fortunately I had left her carrier box on top, with the door wide open, and with a nice comfy dry little mattress inside.... in the morning the mattress wasn't dry any more, I was surprised at the amount such a little thing (at the time she was still little) could produce.

If you like, you can just pick your baby up, put her inside the box, and help her scratch inside by holding her legs.... I did that, coz I read it helps them get the idea...

First time we brought Neevie home, she just ran and hid between the oven and the fridge, right in the most dangerous place of the kitchen... We had a really hard time getting her out of there!

Hii Chiyo's home now but has decided that hiding under the reclining couch (typically the one i forgot to sweep under shes got dust bunnies all in her fur now!) is the best idea. She played with a ribbon etc but then goes and hides. If i stroke her shes purring away so i think shes just missing her brothers and sisters a bit. She hasn't come out for and food or water or the bathroom yet which worries me a little but i'll jsut keep an eye on her and hopefully by the end of tonight she will have.

Chiyo is now pretty settled. She came out from Hiding and had a good explore she's still a little timid if people walk by or someone walks down the hallway but she's quick to come out of hiding and look around. She's thankfully eating, drinking and using the litter box now She is very vocal with the cutest little meow it makes my heart melt! She is also a massive purr machine as soon as you start stroking her she starts purring really loudly i love it :D Was really nice waking up and seeing her curled up at the end of the bed this morning (boyfriend tried to discourage her but she was having none of it and i didn't want her to feel lonely). Even since seeing her 3 weeks ago she's bigger! i can't wait to watch her grow. Just need to get her to stop nipping and scratching our hands then he wants to play

aww she is a real cutie
