I've been owned by Ritz since late January 2010. Ritz was rescued when she was around four to six months old (survived 20 inch snow storm), don't know how much human interaction she had before being abandoned by owner, socialized by an experienced rescuer, and is now around nine months to 14 months old (age in dispute). Never had a cat before, so don't know what normal is.
I've been reading the Forums every day and getting a lot of great hands-on, practical advice. The "how to" books and manuals and tv shows are great, too, but theoretical. And we all know how unique our cats and their issues are.
So I was wondering, what are your top ten/five/three (or how ever many) tips you could give us Newbies? What do you know now that you wish you'd known way back when you first adopted/rescued your kitten/cat?
Thanks.
