Yeah I agree with what everyone else has said although I do have a suggestion on litter.. I'm not sure if they have it where you are but look up in the phone book Katz Loo.. We get 6, 10kg bags of litter delivered for $33 and it lasts about 6 months.. So very cheap option, and you don't have to buy it in your shopping!. It is clumping kitty litter so once a day I just scoop out the clumps and it doesn't smell either.. (Well i don't think it does, I have had my cat for 8yrs so might just be used to it Lol)

Regarding what Bon said about her cat not using the water bowl, mine barely does either, prefering to drink from the bottom of the shower! Lol

Regarding collars, I got my cat an elastic one from bi lo or woolies. About $5. Because it is all elastic if he gets stuck in a tree he wont cholk.. I have also gone through a couple of these. I also have a tag with his name and my number on it..

Congratulations on your new fur baby, enjoy
