The safest place for your pet is your home! Cats who go outdoors unsupervised can get hit by a car or catch diseases from wild animals or stray cats and dogs.
Felines may sleep up to 16 hours a day, so make sure that yours has a cozy bed or box with a comfy blanket to curl up in.

Mean greens! Keep your kitty away from poisonous plants, including aloe, lilies, English ivy and rhododendron.

Be a litter bug! That means keep bugging yourself until you've cleaned the litterbox! Scoop out used litter and solid waste daily. Your cat is naturally clean and very careful to use her box only. If she has an accident outside the box, she may be sick.

Roaming cats are prime candidates for fights with other animals, traffic accidents, and communicable diseases from other cats. Their life span can be expected to be considerably shorter as a result.

Many cats are strictly indoor pets and are perfectly content, as long as they have access to a clean litter box and fresh water at all times. I strongly recommend that for a healthier, happier pet you consider keeping your kitten indoors only. If your pet must go outside, make sure you know where it is at all times, that the kitten is old enough to manage on its own, that it is identified in some fashion (microchip ID or breakaway collar and tag), current on vaccinations, and not outdoors in extremely cold, hot, or inclement weather.

If you don't want your kitten in certain areas of the house, start training it immediately to avoid those areas. When choosing where your kitten will sleep, keep in mind that cats are nocturnal animals and will be active at night. Placing soft bedding materials in secluded corners will help your kitten to feel at home.
