Have just reserved two gorgeous little kittens!

We went to a local re-homing centre yesterday and pending a home visit will be getting 2 14week kittens! :j

I'm after some advice about the food - after reading some other posts on here about the low meat content, fillers, etc of your well known supermarket sellers.

The kittens have been fed a mixture as its all donated food, so I'm not expecting them to be fussy.
I've been told dry food is better for them than wet?
What do you people use for your cats/kittens?

Many thanks
Sarah

Ohhh congrats!:j

There is a huge debate about whether wet or dry food is best ...... I'd say do your reading online and make a decision for yourself - personally I feed a mixture of both (I'd prefer them to eat more wet but wee cat in particular much prefers dry!)

Try to go for better quality ranges whichever you decide on - although these may seem initially more expensive, you'll not need to feed as much and therefore they often work out cheaper

I'd also suggest feeding a couple of different brands - often the manufacturers decide to bring out a "new and improved recipe" which nearly always means your cats won't touch it anymore :eek: and that's really hard if it's the only one they'll eat!

Have a look at this for some ideas to start with http://www.zooplus.co.uk/shop/cats

You can get 5% cashback through Quidco (which does actually mount up if - like me - you're always buying stuff!:o

Their are some great cat litters too - same principle applies, slightly more expensive stuff to start with but it'll last ages!

Beds - try cardboard boxes with a nice warm blanket in until you find out whether your cats are "bed cats" or not - mine are .... both sleep in their beds but many other cats never go near them!

Toys - dangler poles are great but also cheap things like scrunching up a ball of paper, tin foil etc
