This is one of the really fun things about getting a new kitten. It can be an exciting challenge to find that perfect name that suits your kitten's personality and looks. Of course, you can pick any name you wish, but short names are easiest for your kitten to learn.
You can help your kitten learn to recognise her name by using it consistently. Use your kitten's name as often as possible to call her to you, during play time or during a quiet cuddle.
There are so many choices, from plain stainless steel to ceramic dishes customised with your kitten's name.
When choosing a bowl, ceramic or stainless steel are the best for hygiene and durability. Ensure that dishes are washed daily and that fresh water is always available for your pet.
If the bowls you choose do not have a rubber ring on the bottom to keep them from slipping around on the floor, you might want to consider placing your kitten's bowls onto a placemat or towel for security.
Even before you bring your new kitten home, it is important to consider where she is going to sleep. Most kittens prefer soft bedding in baskets or small boxes placed in cozy corners or sunny spots in your home.
To make your kitten's bed more comfortable, provide a fleece or plush toy to cuddle with while adjusting to sleep without her littermates.
