A new kitten or cat brings lots of joy and love into your home.

Here are some tips to help you and your new friend live happily ever after.

​

Do you have more than one cat?  Are you considering another cat to your household?

Multi-cat households require some special considerations and planning. 

These resources will help you learn ways to arrange the environment and implement strategies for peaceful co-existence.

​

Learn to Speak "Cat"

Cats communicate primarily through body language and vocalizations.  These resources will help you learn to speak your cat's language more fluently.
