How to Prepare Yourself Before
Adopting or Buying a New Kitten

Kittens are only kittens for a year, but this short time is the most significant stage of a cat's development. It's important for kitten owners to recognize how impressionable these animals are and arm themselves with tools and expert advice to ensure their kittens the best start in life.

In order to raise a well adjusted kitten to become a healthy, happy and well–mannered adult cat, it is best if owners prepare themselves for their new pet.

This includes:

• Kitten–proofing their household
• Slowly introducing resident pets
• Determining the best way to manage children and kitten interactions
• Coordinating a plan for litter box training

These tips and more are covered in a series of 13 webisodes dubbed the "The Kitten Connection". These videos are designed to provide kitten owners with tips, tricks, and advice that allow them to make the most out of the lives they share with their new kittens.

Certified Veterinary Behaviorist Dr. Karen Sueda is the host of these videos. She guides owners through easy steps to help enrich their relationships with their kittens and create foundations for many years to come.
