Hey there, I Can Has-ers. Remember adopting your first cat? Or rather, remember when your cat adopted you? Maybe you went to a shelter and found one there, or maybe one just followed you home one day and that was that, but we're sure you all remember how many questions you had when you first got the little stinker. Every burp, every bowl of food not eaten, or anything out of the ordinary was a Google-worthy question filled with anxiety. Today's cat community is very wholesome and helpful, so after adopting their first kitten, this Redditor asked for "first cat" advice and received a litter box full of wholesome and helpful responses.
We wish we had had this when we were with our first fur babies. We only had a number for the vet and our old dial-up modem to type something into AskJeeves. So whether you're a fluffy feline expurrt or a first-time cat owner, this helpful and heartwarming list of advice will be a pleasant and useful scroll, guaranteed!

This kitten is absolutely awwdorable. We remember when we got our first little baby - every time something happened that was unexpected, we rushed to the phone to call an expert. The first one is always looked after so carefully, the next one basically ate rocks and we didn't care.
As with anything with cats, patience and consistency is key. Actually, this is true for all pets. But especially cats when it comes to introductions. They don't like change, and sometimes, it takes time to warm up to their new friends.
