Hi Hawk Good food is a good start, be sure to read the labels though, if you are feeding canned, make sure that no by products are added, and if it’s dry, make sure that the ratio of meat to grains is higher(protein and such) Other than that, kitten proof your apt, and enjoy!

I recommend going to a decent public library and checking out two or three books on cat care. Reading them will give you a good overview of the important points in caring for your new kitten. Since different books will naturally focus on different areas, reading *several* books is particularly useful as it gives you a more complete view. I recall that the ASPCA handbook provided a good overview of basic cat care. With that basis, you will be more confident in asking questions of your vet or other experienced owners. Usenet is most useful when you have a *specific and detailed* question that will benefit from a variety of individuals’ responses, for instance, "What brands of kitty litter are most effective?" or "Why is my kitten nursing on the corner of my sweater?" After your library excursion, it’s helpful to purchase a copy of the one or two books you find most helpful. That way you will have a cat health and care reference handy at all times. This is what I did before and after getting our kitten. It was nice to be able to check the cat books to reassure myself that just because little Mipmap’s nose was dry, he wasn’t burning up with fever! (Several of the books I have contain very handy lists of "call your vet if your cat displays any of the following symptoms"). Cheers, Holly
