 Well, we're back with Beth Edelman, author and an advisory board member of the Pet Buzz radio show. Beth, what special items should we have set up at our home prior to that kitten arriving? So the basics, you should have a scratching post and a really tall one, not the kitten scratching posts that are two feet tall, but a scratching post that's at least 35 inches tall so that it will accommodate your kitten when they're an adult as well. You'll need food and water bowls separate and ones that are easily washable, so I recommend not plastic.
