Animals aren't presents.

I'm not going to give a cat for present!! I just want to have it for Christmas. For me only :)
Most shelters are flooded with animals around February/ March. That's when people start to get tired of their Christmas present pets.
Consider adopting after Christmas.

Whatever, just don't get a pet because it is a holiday.

The problem is that I live in Spain and here it's normal to get pets in festive dates
>>2009829
No, no no no. I wanted to get a cat since I was achild. And now that I broke with my girlfriend (that is alergic) now I can
Hey OP,
When you get a kitten, be sure to discourage play biting by encouraging it to play with its toys. Keep it mentally stimulated, especially if it's an indoor cat. ASPCA's website has some good advice on how to do this.
Hope this helps!

TY bro :D

Which means there will be plenty of unwanted pets right after Christmas.
Why don't you be part of the solution instead of part of the problem.
>>2009853
Maybe you're right
>>2009856
There will be plenty of kittens to choose from, I think it would probably be best.

>be sure to discourage play biting
Why? My cat is 11 and I still play-fight with him. It's fun, an easy way to play with your cat and you really only get small scratches that often don't even break the skin on your hands and wrists. It can even serve as a conversation starter.

It encourages aggression.

I was thinking in the context of having guests over, or small kids who may not be able to distinguish between a playful bite or an aggressive one.
Don't want to make a new thread, gonna ask here: how do I collect a pee smaple properly? I have to get it to the vet's in a few hours, shops are closed so I can't go buy that plastic crap you supposed to substitute kitty litter with. My cat is an asshole and won't pee in an empty litter box. I've covered it with a thick transparent plastic bag, do you think she'll be fooled by this cunning trick?
Kot mildly related.

Just have your vet pull a sterile sample from the bladder

she said that would stress the fuck out of the cat and is potentially dangerous, I'd rather risk a contaminated sample, but thanks anyway senpai
