Hello brain trust, back with some more catto questions. First, super exciting news, we're going on Saturday to the shelter to meet the cat we've selected woohooo!

The amazing cat lady has sent over a shopping list, and after some of my own research, I have made a list of items that I might need and I need some recs / suggestions for these as I don't know where to start.

Here we go:

  • Cat carrier
  • Litter Box x2
  • Cat litter
  • Cat food (dry + wet)
  • toys?
  • Scratching tower?
  • Gloves for cleaning litter?
  • Litter scoop
  • Separate bin for litter
  • Litter mat
  • Bed
  • Blanket
  • Cardboard box
  • Wipes to clean litter box?

I have found this window lounger which I kinda like https://www.petbarn.com.au/all-day-window-lounger-cat-furniture-grey thots?

If you're enviro conscious try some corn based litter. Compostable and very absorbent! The pee literally clumps them up into a soggy ball.

I tried some World's Best Cat Litter from Coles one day and absolutely loved it, but it was very expensive to buy in bulk from them. Ended up getting more from Rufus & Coco online.
