i’m a teen about to get a doll faced persian kitten, i have a loving and playful 5 year old west highland terrier dog who has never met a cat before (so i’m assuming their meeting will go well considering she’s friendly) this cat will be my emotional support animal because i suffer with anxiety and sometimes fall into a depression along with having autism and ADHD
this will be my first cat i ever own, ive interacted with cats in several occasions and cats are my favorite animal, but id like some advice to give my kitty a great life,
i’m hoping to get a male from a new litter i’ve found who will be named Winnie (my dog is named belle so i thought to stick with the disney themed names lol and i also am a fan of Winnie the pooh)
my family has owned a cat before a good few years ago but it was an outside cat, but i’m hoping to keep mine an indoor cat knowing that their breed are usually stolen or in worry that he’ll get lost, ran over, or won’t come home to me.
my dogs favorite food is cheese lol so i’m making sure to make a list to go up on my wall so that he’s not fed cheese as i’m aware that cats cannot eat lactose as well as other foods
i’ve learned a lot about caring for cats but id like for some owners will experience with persians and cat care who have brought home a kitten before so that he’s comfortable in my home when adopted
and how to make new interactions comfortable, how to easily harness train, how to get him comfortable with a food brand/type, what foods are recommended (amount of kibble, fruits or veg), how to introduce him to my dog, how to litter train, how to get into a good routine (sleeping and eating) and what are things i can do to keep him healthy and happy.
i’ve researched a lot and know a lot about care but id like more advice incase I’ve missed out on some things!
i appreciate any advice or helpful messages :)
( please don’t criticise me or send hate towards me because i’d just like to learn how to give my cat the best life possible )
thanks 🙃
