Hello everyone,
I'm a proud new cat mom, my kitten is now 11 weeks old, she's a white Persian mixed breed, her name is Cotton. I bought her 10 days ago, it was the beginning of the holidays here, and I thought it's best to be at home with her in the beginning. Now on Monday I have to go back to work, 7am to 3pm straight. During these past ten days, I have left her alone for a few hours at a time, the first time I did it was two days after I bought her and cried all the way.
I have read several posts and articles, and as long as her room is cat proof, she has water, food, toys and a clean litter box then she's fine. I even read that I should put some music on for her.
I bought a radio especially for her though she doesn't seem to pay attention to it.
She has several toys, little balls some with rattles in them, a mouse, a shoebox and a basket, she has a scratch post, two windows with wide window sills, she prefers one of them, and has chosen it for her morning and evening naps. She uses the other one to sit and watch the fish tank (which is a bit high for her to reach now, plus it's covered).
Her nails were cut yesterday for the second time since I got her, and she got a dry shampooing session, I brush her hair daily and clean her eyes and ears twice, and give her fluffy hair a brushing once or twice a day. I scoop her litter box two to three times daily.
I feed her dry food, Nutram for kitties, just as they used for her in the pet shop that I got her from. I bought an automatic feeder from Amazon but won't get it till Thursday.
I'm still worried though, any advice? If there's anything more for me to do for her? Was thinking of getting her a Cat Cam (I think it would be getting it for me), I saw several nice ones on Amazon, one that's cube like and has a laser pointer, but its a bit too expensive for me right now, especially with everything that I'd already bought.
I'm afraid she'd just sit there and yowl at the door, she did it a couple of times already, though not every time (not sure what exactly triggers it). She's really sweet, she sleeps with me, over me, she follows me around, gives all signs of "I love you". It really breaks my heart to have to leave her
Waiting for your replies!
Thanks
