we are finally about to get the kittens and i am absolutely freaking out. i don’t know what it is i’m freaking out about but knowing we are getting the kittens soon is giving me so much anxiety. i just want to be a good cat mom and take care of them properly.

what are some things you wish you knew before getting a cat?
what are somethings i should be prepared for?
were you nervous before getting your first cat?
if you have a specific area set up for them, how do you have it?

please help calm my worries. thank you in advance :)

Welcome to TCS and congratulations on your new kittens arriving soon. :heartshape:Honestly it's been so long since we adopted our first kitten(s) but probably one of the things I wish I had known at the time was to put the floor plants away since they liked to use them as an extra litter box.

This TCS Article has some excellent advice for kitten proofing your home and should help you feel less nervous:
Kitten Proofing Your Home: 13 Practical Tips – TheCatSite Articles
And this Article about to help a new cat adjust to your home has some helpful information:
How To Help A New Cat Adjust To Your Home – TheCatSite Articles

Best of luck and please don't forget to post pics when you get the kittens. :lovecat2:
