People always think that owning a cat and taking care of them is so easy. Cats are relatively low-maintenance pets. You need to feed them, give them water and clean their litterbox sometimes. That's all they need from you. Right? Wrong. Maybe cats are a little less demanding than some other animals, but there is still a lot that you need to know about how to take care of them. You need to know how to get cats to drink enough water, because sometimes, they just don't feel like it. You need to know why cats bite their humans sometimes and how it's not (always) about them disliking you or being mad at you. You need to know that actually, milk is bad for your cats and that you cannot give it to them.

That last thing is what we are going to be focusing on. Because while there are a lot of things that you need to know about cats that you just learn as you go, when it comes to the things that they're allowed and not allowed to eat and drink - that is something that you have to look into in advance. Because you can hurt your cats unintentionally. Be careful with your felines, guys, they're relying on you.

We don't want to get too mad about the people who did this to him, because it sounds like maybe they were trying, like maybe they just didn't know that milk wasn't good for kittens. So, we are not going to be mad. We are going to focus on the positive, which is that we think… that bringing this black kitten to this new family might have been the CDS's plan all along.

Look at this cuddle puddle and tell us that you don't believe that he belongs here, we dare you. You can't. Because he does. And whatever happens next, we know that for the near future, he is going to have the best time in the world with his new family.
