Hi all and happy new year!
I will be bringing home a Russian Blue kitten aged around 12 weeks in mid February. Since this will be my first pet I would love some advice from people who have had or do have Russian Blues.
I live in an old school building, my room is pretty big (an old classroom) and my floor consists of a long corridor with various other rooms (other housemates, kitchen and bathrooms). I'm thinking of predominately keeping it in my room until it's 6 months and I can let it out. In the two months it will be solely indoors, I am thinking it can roam outside my room in the corridor if it wants to when I'm home and on weekends? Any suggestions on this?
My main concern is that I have to work during the day. I know they are a breed that love routine, so I was wondering would it be a good idea to work from home the first week the kitten arrives so I can bond with it and train it? Or will this be unwise if after that week I will be woking 5 days a week and it will have to get used to being alone most of the day?
I really can't have two kittens, so I'm thinking of asking friends/other housemates who might be home during the day to pay a visit and play with the kitten- again is this wise with Russian Blues?
I am going to purchase this automatic feeder for when I'm away and I am also thinking of doing a combination of a raw food diet with high end foods on the market- has anyone done this and have any advice in terms of what is the best for Russian Blues? Advice of cost effective ways to do a raw diet?
I really want to make sure I do everything right from the get go so any advice would be great!
Many thanks in advance. x
