  3. i love kittens more than anything

    if i could i would totaly buy every kitten in the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i love them! if someone said “im either going to shoot this kitten at piont blank or im going to cut off all your fingers and burn you” id be like, “burn me!” i hate animal abuse so much! i want to kill all animal abusers! it makes me sick! have you ever seen a video of an elephant getting trained for a circus? they use these things to get the elephants to do what they want them to called elephant hooks. its a hook about an inch and a half around on the end of a long stick and the stick it into their skin and use it to pull them around. its really gross.

    The most important things would be the proper food (kitten formula if they are young). you should get some wet and dry cat food. Next of course would be a litter box with your choice of kitty litter. Make sure if they are still very small that they can get into te box on their own. Food dishes of their own are good, make sure thy always have clean water! A bed for them to “make their own” is a good idea. And of course there are all sorts of different toys. Experiment with your cat to figure out what kind of toys they like. Also it is important to decide if it will be an indoor cat only, or if you will let it outside. This can help you decide things like leashes, collars, scratching posts (which you should get anyway) and even food. A good brush is very important and the type you should by depends on the cats fur. I also like to make sure to have treats for my cat that cleans teeth.

      I have 3 cats and 6 kittens. They are Carlisle, Jessica, Bella, Precious, Sleepy, Spot, Dinky, Rusty and peaches. Carlisle, Bella and Jessica are named after Twilight characters. Precious is called so because she is cute and very precious to us. Sleepy is because he mostly sleeps. Spot is because he is all white except for a small black spot on his head. Dinky is because she is the runt smallest of the litter. Rusty because he is ginger and my son named him as he is having him and Peaches because she had light peach patches in a couple of places on her mainly white body.
      So i think the best thing really is to watch your kitten for a couple of weeks and see what springs to mind. There’s also seasons they were born days of the week and month that you could use such as summer or May and April are nice names. You could also look at a baby naming book.
