Hey I do plan to do a video about how I prep my meals soon! I am aiming for sometime in the fall. I do prep my meals for a two week period and I prep in a way so it’s efficient and the meats are not out long. Ingredients are chosen already and I buy straight from farms and a local grocery delivery. Hope that helps for now

Hey I'm not Cat Butler, but I'm a first time cat owner and was worried about the same things and I think I can help you a bit :) Cats will ruin furniture mostly by either scratching or peeing/spraying. They do this to mark their territory. The solution is actually pretty simple, you need to provide your cats with cat scratchers and cat beds or cat towers in pretty much every room they have access to. Don't punish your kittens if they make a mistake, they will be able to understand that you're angry or sad but they can't make the connection that their behaviour is what made you angry/sad. For example, if your cat scratches on your bookcase, lift up the cat gently and place your cat on a cat scratcher. Then scratch the scratcher with your nails to show your cat that she is allowed to scratch there. She will most likely watch you and start scratching the scratcher. By having cat Scratchers in her room she can follow her instincts and mark her territory visually. She will also most likely rub her body against the scratcher to transfer her scent on it. By rubbing herself against cat beds (or cat towere) or lying on them, those things will also collect the cats scent. This way she won't feel the need to pee or spray anywhere outside of the litterbox. Cats are actually very clean animals, and most likely won't pee or poop outside the litter box. Cats being stressed or anxious or cats that don't feel confident in their territory are likely to do their business outside the litter box. By having Cat Towers, Scratchers and Cat Beds to mark their territory, you will raise a confident cat that won't feel the need to do their business outside the litter box. Also, not having your cats spayed/neutered will often lead to bad behaviour like you mentioned, and will generally make their life much more stressfull (I think actually each time a female cat goes into heat, her chance to get ovarian cancer increase 10×). I think you don't have to worry too much about transitioning your cats, but I recommend that you just give them time to explore the new space for themselves. Instead of hugging or petting them a lot right from the beginning, build a positive relationship and trust by playing with them a lot and handfeeding them. They will very quickly come to love you and ask for lots of cuddles and attention constantly from their side. Sometimes cats can also do bad behaviours because they are bored or frustrated because they built up too much energy, but this can be completely avoided by playing with them at least 2 times a day. I was worried about the exact same things as you a lot, I didn't even have time to prepare myself because I found a stray kitten and took her in without any cat experience. I thought she might have difficulties with potty training or destroying my things because of her background, but to my surprise she never had an accident outside the litter box and also never touched my things, only her scratchers. I truly think getting rid of excess energy by playing and giving her scratchers and beds in each room to rub her scent on have led to her being such a well behaved kitten right from the start. It was always my dream to have ragdolls, I might get one or two in the future as a friend for my stray kitten. I'm sure you will be able to give your future cats a great life and they will love you a lot, good luck!

@@makkachin9614 Wow! Thank you so much for all the help, that information is very helpful. I will definitely put all of this into mind when I get a cat. Really appreciate it 😀

Makkachin did such a good job summarizing what to do!

Thank you! 😊

hahah was it a good decision at the end? :D

@@TheCatButler yes it was

@@TheCatButler sorry for not answering sooner

How do you be really nice to a barn cat?

I hug them often :)

@@TheCatButler My cream boy loves hugs. My seal bi-color girl won't tolerate them. She's an independent lady

@@hanss.5291 haha so sweet of them :D, sound like fluffy angels!

@@TheCatButler they're as soft as plushies, i'd hug them too! and even meow at them, real fwoofballs
