Must haves for a kitten

[sweetchix]

Hi all! I posted in here before i had to put my dogs down, although not frequently.

Anyway... I am bringing home a kitten tonight and I wanted to see if I am forgetting anything, supply wise, that I would need for her.

I have:
Kitten food
Metal food/water dish
Litter box
Scoopable litter
Scratching post
Brush
Bed
Toys
Collar
Treats

Am I forgetting anything? I haven't had a kitten in so long!

PS I checked the FAQ page but didn't see a list of necessities and my search function won't work on my phone, so please forgive me if this has been asked before.

Could you PIP a picture? I love kittens!!!

[sweetchix]

Here she is...

It's the pic from Sunday though. I tried to get some pictures since we've been home but my camera is acting up.

I wanted to name her Lily, but DD1 wants to name her Izzy. She does seen more like an Izzy than a Lily though.

I posted the wrong one. Here is one of her face...

What is Nature's Miracle?

It's an enzymatic cleaner, good for accidents. I just like to keep some on hand because my cat will occasionally have hairballs and throw up on the carpet.

A second kitten

j/k (but it wouldn't be a bad idea either!). She does look more like an Izzy, good luck & congrats!

I'm not sure what the age recommendation is, but for young kittens it is best to avoid clumping litter because they may eat it.

Haha, I don't know why the same photo loaded. I really did choose a different one the second time.

Anyway, she has been great so far. She did well overnight- I had her up in my room with me. She slept in her bed and used the litter box while she was in there.

I think Lily is out, but another name is in. So now I have to decide between Daisy, Izzy, or the new name- Gabi.

Feliway! I swear by the stuff. My vet recommended it when one of my kittens was having a problem. It's a pheromone spray or plugin to help calm the kitten down. It helps them with new surroundings or to help them stop marking/scratching areas you don't want damaged.
