Great news! About to adopt a new cat!! Super excited and can't get to get her (pictures to come). Although I want to prepare the house with some toys and stuff for the cat to play with and enjoy. What has worked well for you? Any toys in particular? Cat trees worth it? Hit me with your best recommendations! 😻

Side note for OP, if you don’t want them on kitchen counters, giving alternatives helps a lot. Cats are snoopy- they have to know what everyone is doing, so a cat shelf in the kitchen (or kitchen window) with a bed will give them a place other than your counter.

Or stools to watch from, (and if they still use it as a highway, tinfoil worked on the guy I watch occasionally.)(still gotta scrub the counter before you start cooking…)
