Make sure you have scratching posts around your house, and if you catch him or her scratching your furniture, move him or her to the scratching post.I am mostly keeping the Kitten in the bathroom in my house. Don't get me wrong, it is a Big Bathroom with a few toys and a Scratching Post. Karma isn't eating the dry food, so I am allowing him to subsist on wet food for now, but I will try to get Karma to start eating the dry food as soon as possible, because quite frankly, the wet food is particularly expensive. I have a litter box, but I don't believe him to be using it. Do you have any advice on this front? I am keeping the dry food out for him and a bowl of water, however I am using small Plastic Containers to hold these food items. Would you recommend getting a metal bowl?
Get him lots of toys- my cat likes the little furry mice with catnip in them. Wet food is best for cats because it's added hydration for them. Get him fixed as soon as the vet will allow t.
Play with him! The wands with strings and fun toys on the end are a lot of fun, as are laser pointers.
I have a Scratching Post in the area he is in, but it will be simply awkward to fit a scratching post in quiet a few places, particularly places it may be a problem.
There is the question of getting him a Cat Bed, should we just keep him sleeping on the Scratching Post, or should we get him a bed he may make a mess out of?

I actually already have had multiple Dogs, so I am planning to get it neutered soon, despite there being no other cats in the house. I have two dogs, one a half Pomeranian and the other a Sheltie.
They are both rather old, the half Pom being significantly older than the Sheltie. Both are relatively small. Do either of you have any tips on introducing the Cat to the Dogs?
