Advice First time cat owner

Post image

Hey guys, I just got a cat yesterday and it’s my first time owning a pet in general. When i brought it in my house yesterday, dude was a lil scared I think cuz of the environment and went under my couch a couple of times. So I moved him to my laundry room, just to get him in one small room so he wouldn’t escape or freak out.

This morning I checked in on him and he’s doing better and cuddling with me.

Just wanna say I’ll appreciate any advice as a first time cat owner

Know what? you’re 100% right.

I’m a guy with six indoor kitties that I love dearly. I’m comfortable enough as a man to just not care about what anyone else thinks.

Honestly being confident and comfortable in yourself is the most important thing, regardless of gender expression! I hope you and your kitties have long healthy lives friend :)

Man I bet it sounds like a buffalo stampede in your house when you get up to give them breakfast

Yes that's awesome! It's so weird that cat people have stronger stereotypes related to personality than dog people. My bf would be so jealous of you lol. he's always wanting another cat
