ok get yourself a scratching pole or if DF is handy get him to make one. You can buy them and the cost varies depending on how fancy you want it to be. DH made ours by screwing a long screw through a base made of mdf which holds onto a bit of hard wood. He uses old carpet to cover the timber with small tack type nails to hold it together and moe loves it.
when kitty comes home scratch his/her feet long it same as when you introduce them to their litter tray.
we used recycled paper kitty litter it had Dr Harry on it but i am unsure of the brand. Moe also liked dirt in his litter but flatly refused using it with those absorbent pebbly ones in it so your cat may have a preference.
we have a separate water bowl and one of those two in one dishes - one side for his once a day wet food (or milk when we spoil him) one side for dry biccies.
toys - moe loved to chase balls so we had ping pong balls and he would hit them around the house.
moe also had a collar with a bell it took him 2 day to get use to it. it was also a safety one so if it got caught it could pull apart - notice i said HAD he has gone through a few of these and i need to get him a new one.
also a bed. moe hated those hidy house ones and the dog bed looking ones and opted for a woolen baby blanket on the couch he rarely sleeps curled up and likes to lie sprawled out.
thats basically it and this stuff should last them their life.
