I have two kittens (Mr. Neo Anderson & Agent Smith)...my BF is really into the Matrix...ya think!

Well all the above advice is what you need to know. Lots of love and keeping that litter box clean!

Now...I know alot of people are saying to stay away from declawing...that's a big taboo with cat lovers...but I have had both of mine declawed. I've discussed with with my vet and he has cats of his own and they are declawed. I know everyone can give me reasons why it shouldn't be done and I can show you two healthy cats. BUT its a personal decision for everyone.

If you don't want to go down that road, I agree that you have to get your kittens into the habit of getting their nails clipped. It has to become normal to them, so start doing it often, even it you just go through the motions of clipping. You can also save your furniture between clipping by using these plastic "tips" that go over their claws. They don't hurt them and can be found at any Petsmart.

Toys - you can buy all the toys YOU think are cute, but your cats will play with things you might have around the house!...getting a 12 pack of beer or pop? Don't throw out the box. Put a ball that's somewhat hard to get out and they will have a ball.
You know those knee-hi's that you get at Walgrees that come in a round plastic container for about $.50...put a penny in there, seal it and they will go nuts!!
