TIPS FOR NEW CAT OWNERS
Cats are a great source of comfort, companionship and motivation for their 
owners. However, sometimes the issue of owning and caring for a cat could 
make us uneasy and agitated. 
Here are some useful tips for becoming a responsible cat owner
1. CREATE A BOND
• This should be a no-brainer but a good relationship with your cat is beneficial 
for the emotional and psychological wellbeing of both you and your cat. 
• A good way to do this is to spend more time playing with your cat.
•  Make sure you take a few minutes to pet your cat too.
2. UNDERSTAND CAT BEHAVIOR: 
• The more you learn about feline behavior, the more you will be able to 
understand why your cat behaves the way it does.
• There are a lot of free resources on the internet to help educate you.
3. GET A PET CAM:
•  If you are worried about not being able to check up on your cat while you’re 
away,  consider getting a pet cam.
• It will allow you to call home, see your pet via a camera and it can see you 
too
•  Some pet cams come with treat dispensers, so you can spice things up and 
give your cat a yummy treat.
4. ALLOW YOUR CAT TO SOCIALIZE
• If you have family members around, get them to spend time with your cat
• Alternatively, you can hire a cat sitter for the parts of the day you are at 
work, as socializing your pet will help it become less attached to one person.
5. DISCOURAGE YOUR CAT FROM 
EXPLORING FORBIDDEN SURFACES:
• Cats are naturally curious and will jump on counters or other places you’d 
like them to steer clear of surfaces may be poisonous or dangerous to them.
• With time and patience, you can teach your cat to stay away from  protected 
areas. 
• Having them trained will help you relax knowing they know which places to 
avoid.
