Food: depending on your finances, I always recommend Nutro Natural. Its highquality food and helps a lot with (how to say this nicely?) Smelly poo. It also helps with hairballs. They have a kitten variety Dry as well as a wet food. I give my boys wet only as a treat. I have foster kittens too, but since my finances aren;t that great I feed them Purina Kitten chow. My big boys LOVE it, and will go through whatever they need to do to get it

Pouncer refuses to wear a collar, Allen wears one. I think its a matter of the cat. If Mina is alwas wriggling out of one, then use the breakaway collars, but be prepared to have to put it back on every day. I do not have either boy microchipped but it is going to be done the next time I take them for their checkups -- this is very important!

Litter: everyone uses a different brand. I use an inexpensive clumping litter. Some cats prefer different levels.. some like deep litter other like the litter to be low. Its a good idea to scoop at least once a day.
