There are lots of strategies to think of when preparing your home for a new cat. The cat needs to be made to feel right at home but there needn't be too much upheaval. By planning ahead you can avoid this. Taking care of any animal constitutes a commitment which is important so don't even consider having a new pet in your household unless you've thought it through. The breed of cat you choose should be a perfect match for your lifestyle and that of your family
Make sure you have all the correct equipment before you get the cat back home. This means a collar, a scratching post to help save your furniture from damage and a litter tray. You should also have separate bowls for food and water. Keep these stored in a neutral hygienic area, ensuring they don't pose tripping hazards. Finally make sure you have a suitable bed with blankets and of course some toys for them to play with
Plan what rooms the cat is allowed in and which ones are off limits. For example if you're an amateur chef who is particular about hygiene give this some consideration before it becomes an issue once you have brought your kitty home. If you don't want certain items of furniture to be damaged ensure that you have also thought this through.
The space the family cat occupies should be somewhere they're comfortable without potentially causing any damage. If there are artifacts in the house of value keep them in a storage space or out of the cats reach.
If you have children, especially younger ones you should teach them how their cat is to be treated. When the pet arrives in your household there won't be any unexpected events. This will be helpful in the bonding process between family pet and child.
The effort you've made will ensure you're all ready to have a welcoming house for you and your cat to live.
