Bringing the baby into the house, you do not need to keep it constantly in your hands or play with it. It just needs to be left alone and allowed to get comfortable in the new environment. If there are several rooms in a house or apartment, then you need to limit yourself to only one, so that the kitten begins to gradually master.

In this room, it is necessary to put a tray with a filler, an iron or plastic bowl, and also prepare a sleeping place for it. You need to start accustoming it to the toilet from the very first days, otherwise the kitten will mark all the places. You do not need to shout at him, you need to speak calmly so that he understands, and not fears. In addition, the tray should be away from the resting place. If the cat does not go to the tray, but to another place, then his toilet must be moved there.

They must be treated with affection and tenderness, only in this case they will reciprocate. Otherwise, the kitten will grow up very aggressive and pugnacious. You need to talk with them so that they feel caring. Besides, it is necessary to remove all items that can cause harm to the kitten.
