Do you have suggestions as far as what type of litter, food, treats?, and toys?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Litter: I use fresh step. It works wonderfully for Julie.

Food: Julie eats Purina One Weight management...to keep her youthful figure.

Treats: Sorry, can't help you here. Julie doesn't enjoy treats. She likes her food and cat grass. I grow little containers of oat or wheat grass and she just loves it.

Toys: The little furry mice are great (except our dog likes to chew them up). Julie is also fond of shoe strings, she has one that she likes to carry around the house. Pompom balls are great fun, except they are constantly ending up under the microwave stand or the computer desk and I have to 'find' them for her. She likes elastic pony tail holders. Some of the best cat toys are things they find around your house, pens, string, rubber bands, bottle caps.

Scratchers: I started out with the little cardboard variety. Its made in a little box and is slanted. That worked well. I bought a sisal board that is supposed to hang on a door knob, but Julie prefers it flat on the floor to scratch. She also has sisal poles on her cat tree, but she uses that more for stretching than scratching. As long as she has access to her scratcher she will not claw the furniture.

Books: You might look at the book store for a basic Cat care book.. Most of them have good information and illustrations to go with them.

Good luck and Enjoy!!! Cats make a house a home.
