Forgive me, I couldn't decide where this post should belong in the forum.
I am looking for advice more about adopting cats. I have read several posts about adoptions that seem to ask specific questions related to their unique situations. I am looking for the advice to the questions may not be addressed until it is too late and the kitty has arrived. In the past two years, I have run through several cost analysis and know that I can afford to love an older cat or two kittens. I feel ready to adopt as I am in a stable job and location.
I do have a few questions that are specific:
1. How well does a cat deal with another human moving into the living area? (Such as a fiance into my apartment? We both want an older cat or two kitten.)
2. Do cats chew on things (electrical wires, ...)
3. What are the best ways to introduce a cat to a new location?
4. For an indoor cat, how do you prevent the cat from escaping when you come home and open the front door?
5. What are the best setups for litter boxes for both use and cleaning?
I would greatly appreciate any advice for a new cat owner that may not have anything to with what have asked above.
Was there anything that you didn't find out until after you had your kitty that you wish you had known before your kitty arrived home?
Thank you very much in advance!
