Getting Started: Comfy cat beds

A common error people make with a new kitten is not providing comfy cat beds. Felines bond to locations.  If you provide comfy cat beds, your kitten will bond to his or her beds instead of shedding all over your furniture.

ü      Put one bed in a kennel (Bond your kitten to kennels.)
ü      Feed your kitten premium quality kitten food in food puzzles and other toys inside the kennel.
ü      Cover the bed with a hand towel or fleece (You can buy rolls and cut to size) and throw these bed covers in the washing machine once a  week.
