Cats can be very very different. One of my current pair is instant best friends with everybody, the other growls when he hears the front gate. Some are very fussy about food, some demand a very specific type of litter. They can be expensive, my last big vet emergency cost 4 grand.

How old is this cat, and is it a specific breed? Some types are extremely active and require much entertainment or they get bored and destructive.

I don’t find the tinfoil thing to work.

It’s a tabby kitten, about 3 or 4 months old I think. Maybe I should ask more questions about its personality to get an idea of how high maintenance it is? All I’ve got so far is that it’s super affectionate and loving. Aww.

Ah, very much still a kitten then. You’ll get to enjoy some of the batshit crazies and they should be very trainable Re sleeping on beds, getting on benches etc. Then will come the teenage bit where they appear to be constructed entirely out of legs and ears.

Have fun😺
