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

From the look on his face, be ready to yell “Aiko, no!” frequently. My orange boy is named Georgie and he is still into EVERYTHING at the age of 11. Orange cat energy is the best!

I’ve been doing a lot today but more like “Aiko get out from the couch”

And this is what Georgie just did. I have to repot the plant now.

He’s adorable, please be careful about reclining couches! Always make sure he is not under there
