Hey guys, i‘ll be welcoming 2 kittens to my life in may and I want to offer them beautiful experiences outside. After doing a lot of reading I can say I have a good grasp on the very beginning whilst inside: get them gently used to the harness, then the leash, train them some clicker moves, have them feel safe in the backpack and then see if going outside is something they like to do.

Its the afterwards that I‘m not sure about. Many people I talked to goes with their cats to their garden or a park 100m away. Or they take them somewhere in the car.

But what about when you live in the center of a small city (still urban) and to get to a green place you gotta walk a bit and to get to a reaally green place you have to either walk and get a bus or just walk more?

My other question is what to do regards dogs (love them). With my dog this was easy. But with two cats Id really appreciate some guidance.

Well thats it. Thanks a lot in advance and I wish you all a good day :)

My Burmas haven’t arrived yet, but I‘m very looking forward to the day they are here. So I was wondering if anyone here had some memories to share, recommendations to give, tips and so on.

Hello, i’m about to become a cat parent myself and i’m preparing the home for the kittens. I’ve read good things about cat grass and was wondering if some of you could share with me your experience with it? Where did you order yours from? Did you buy them as seeds and planted them at home? Any tips is welcome!

I’m not familiar with cats. I’ve always been told that cats will generally clean themselves. That one should inly bathe them if there is a need due to them not being able to do it or if they get really dirty.

Is there a new understanding of this now? While browsing youtube Ive found actual breeders bathing 10 weeks old kittens?

Im not writing this with the aim to “roast” anyone or just shit talk a group of people. I’m genuinely asking if I’m missing something. If I still should only bathe my cats if theres really a need for it.

Ps. Someone told me one could bathe them as kittens to get them used to it for the case they need to be bathed in the future. But I see that as so much unnecessary stress if the cat doesn’t respond to water well.

Hello

I havent welcomed my Burma yet. My plan is to slowly but surely get them used to a harness and a backpack so I can take them for walks in the green.

My question is more about taking them with you to someone’s house. For example you will visit someone, your father or a friend. They welcome your cat and the cat knows them and the place has no other pets.

Is this doable?

I have a maine coon that i take for walks.
