NEW KITTEN SUPPLY HAUL *what you need and don't need*

hey guys what is up welcome to my channel if you're new here welcome back if you're not I'm so glad you're here so let's jump into today's video as you can probably tell by the title and if you have been watching my past couple of videos you would know that I recently got a kitten here he is his name is cheese he's really confused right now as to why I'm trying to show him to the camera he's about five months old I think he's got some really really pretty blue eyes he's probably not going to show you right now but he's got really pretty blue eyes he's mainly white and then his ears and his tail are orange I wanted to make a video on all of the kitten supplies that I bought for him hopefully this video helps you out if you are looking into getting a kitten or a cat honestly I think we got a really good amount of supplies there's not too many and he loves everything that we have gotten him I got almost everything from Amazon and PetSmart so I will link everything that I can down below the very first thing that we actually purchased for cheese way before we even got him is this basket to put all of his toys and stuff like that in I just think this is so cute one thing that I did didn't want to happen was our house looking cluttered with cat stuff and I think cute baskets like this to put it in really help with that I'm going to quickly move on to toys because he doesn't have too many toys we didn't want to go overboard or anything like that with the toys considering he is a cat and could find a ribbon and have the time of his life with it so the first thing that we got is this thing obviously it's broken but he still loves playing with the little toy those at the end of it we got it from Walmart since it did break so easily I'm not going to link it down below I can't really tell you that you should go get this because it obviously isn't the best quality the next toys that we got were actually a set from PetSmart Oren was like we don't need to get those but he loves them so I'm glad that we got them and they're so cute it comes in a set of three there's a little coffee there's a donut and there's a little croissant I think his favorite one for sure is the croissant he loves this thing he will play with this thing for like 2 20 minutes straight I also believe that they are catnip toys the rest of these toys that we have in this thing are actually just random objects that we had around the house like foam things that we got from parades and football games and then we had this ball so we put that in there he does play with these things every now and then but he definitely loves the PetSmart toys a lot better we also got him a laser pointer this is from PetSmart I believe it was like five six dollars he will go crazy for this thing if you have a cat you have to get a laser pointer they love these things it doesn't matter how old they are they will go crazy with a laser pointer so definitely invest in one of these like I said super cheap definitely worth it the next toy that I got him is from Amazon it is a scratching post that obviously has a little dangly ball here that he likes to play with and then on the bottom it has these balls that he can push around with his paw he really does like playing with this thing and honestly I think it's a lot more like aesthetic than a lot of other scratching posts which is why I got it it was so easy to set up to it only came in three pieces super duper easy to set up again he loves this thing he really does use the scratching post we're trying to teach him right now not to use the couch and to use the scratching post and honestly he really likes using this so that's good this was around 25 I want to say and it was definitely worth the purchase and then the last like toy item that we got him was a cat tree it's out in my living room right now it's pretty tall it's probably almost about as tall as me and I'm 5'3 it was only thirty dollars too which is absolutely crazy I figured for thirty dollars it was not gonna be a very good quality it was gonna like fall apart be super uneven but honestly he loves this thing and it's decent quality it hasn't tipped over at all it's sturdy a lot of other cat trees that I see that are smaller than this one are like over a hundred dollars so I will definitely be linking this one down below if it is still available because it is a steal now let's move on onto feeding supplies the first feeding supply that we got him was a mat to put his bowls on I'll put a picture of it up here just a gray silicone mat got it on Amazon and honestly it's helped a lot I really like it now his bowls we got from PetSmart these are his bowls I think these are so cute I saw these and I was like no I I need that we need to have these they were only like nine dollars I have heard a lot about the elevated couples how it helps with digestion it helps prevent whisker fatigue it's overall just better for the cat than to be eating like scrunching down which does make sense I also like these because they can hold a lot these are great they're ceramic so you do have to be a little bit careful with them but I just think they're so cute and aesthetic and I love this purchase now this is the food that we have been feeding him is the wellness complete Health kitten whole grain chicken and chicken meal recipe I was researching one day what the best like food is and this one came up in quite a few of the searches so we're trying it if you guys know of any better Foods or if you guys have used this food let me know in the comments below obviously I want to get them the best food but this one is a good price and I've heard that it's good so this is what we are sticking with right now I got him a couple of other foods to try we actually have not tried any of these soft foods yet but I got him the wellness complete Health kitten Whitefish and tuna entree and the kitten chicken entree and then we also got him some cat treats I don't remember what brand we got him but I know that we got them at PetSmart and they were four kittens the last thing that we got him were these delectable squeeze up treats I believe these are with vegetables and chicken I have actually not tried these with him yet I just feel like they're gonna make a mess but I also think that he will love them so I do need to try them but that is all for food that we got him so let's move on to litter supplies before giving a kid and the thing that I researched the most was litter I am terrified of our house smelling like cat or cat poop and I just do not want that to happen so I researched litter a lot I looked up the best kinds of litter the best kinds of litter boxes the litter that I decided to use for him was the Fresh Step Crystal cat litter it's non-scented a lot of other litters are very dusty this one does not have dust a lot of other Glitters also need to be changed about every single week this one needs to be changed about every three weeks to a month which is a lot better it doesn't you don't waste as much litter you don't have to buy it as often it is a little bit more expensive but it absorbs the scent very very well honestly I just think this is a great purchase I think that we will continue purchasing this litter I really like it I would definitely recommend trying the slitter out and seeing how you like it because so far I really really like this while I was researching I came across these and I thought and I might as well try them I have not actually tried them yet they are still in the bag but I believe that I'm going to try them soon they are charcoal bags you're supposed to put one of them next to the litter and it's supposed to absorb more scent I will also link these down below I got them on Amazon I think it comes with a pack of four the next few things that we got in for litter are obviously in his litter box and I'm not gonna take that out to show you right now the first thing is the actual litter box I researched what litter boxes are best I just couldn't spend a fortune on it when I was researching I came across a stainless steel litter box which honestly at first was I was kind of like that's a little bougie I don't know if we need that it is a lot more expensive than just like the plastic tub litter boxes but the more that I looked into it the more that I realized I wanted it so for one thing not super expensive it's not one of the litter robots it's not 500 it doesn't clean up itself one of the main things that it promotes is that in the long run it does not stink as bad as plastic litter boxes and one of the main reasons is because when cats scratch to cover up their waist a lot of times with the plastic litter boxes they will scratch them and they will get dense in the side now the dents apparently can collect all of those little poop particles and the scent particles and that's why even after you scrub and scrub those things they still smell really bad with the stainless steel litter box they can't do that they can't make the dents in it their nails just aren't strong enough and so you can scrub them and get them completely clean I have cleaned his litter box completely one time it smelled brand new after that and I just let it dry completely and put more litter in it I love the stainless steel one I really recommend you guys get one if you have just those plastic tub ones it is a little bit more expensive but it is totally totally worth it it is now time for the scripture of the video which I have not done in quite a few videos for no other reason than just forgetting today's scripture of the video is Romans 15 live I'm reading it from the NIV version it says may the God who gives you endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of Mind toward each other that Jesus Christ had basically it's saying just be kind just love each other be kind and obviously that's a reminder that we all need in our day-to-day lives also Romans is such an encouraging book parts of Romans are just so uplifting and encouraging and it's a really good book so I wanted to bring you another scripture from Romans today this is your reminder to be kind and love each other now let's get back to the video the next thing that we got him for his litter was one of the litter mats that picks up the litter when he's like walking out of the litter box so that it doesn't get everywhere it does work fairly well it doesn't fit exactly into place and so there there is some litter that still gets around but it does work fairly well when you're done with it you just kind of like pop the sides and it opens up and you can just dump the litter right back in into the litter box I like it I think it's a good purchase we also just got him like a five dollar litter scooper from PetSmart it's just plastic there's nothing special about it but it works very well and the last thing that we got him for his litter box was a litter box enclosure now if you guys have never seen these I 100 recommend getting one of these when you look at it from the front it just looks like a little decorative table it was super easy to put together I did it all by myself which is really saying something so if I can do it you can do it too so easy I love that it has a little shelf on top too there's just a lot of things that you can store there and honestly I do think it helps trap the smell so well when we first started using it we had both of the cabinet doors open so cheese could see his litter box and he knew exactly where it was once he was using it well a couple days later I shut the door that was right in front of the litter box and he had to go in through the other door and go in through one of the holes on the side and then once he got good at that I shut both cabinets and they've been shut ever since then and he just goes in through the hole in the side uses it and comes right back out so I think it is a very good purchase it was around 100 but again it looks cute it's aesthetic and it serves a really good purpose and it works really really well so I 100 recommend getting one of those if you can now some miscellaneous items that didn't really fit into any category first thing we got a brush that also came with a little flea brush I'm not gonna link this one down below I got it on Amazon it was only about five dollars and I just don't think it works very well I am probably gonna go to PetSmart soon and find a better version of this brush that actually works the next thing that I got I have seen all over Tick Tock and I figured that I just needed to try it I think it's called a Chom Chom this thing picks up hair like no other honestly it really really works it picks up a lot of hair you just run it on the couches or wherever you want to pick up hair from and then in this little cartridge back here you open it and you take all of the hair out and throw it away it's super easy to use I think it's around 25 but I recommend getting one of these it saves vacuuming time you can just quickly go over the couch or the chairs or whatever you want to each night and just picks up the hair really really well so I would recommend getting one of these the last thing that we got for cheese was a carrier this is the one that I got it's just gray it's a decent size one thing that I really like about this one it has a little bowl that you can attach in there if you need to feed him or water him if that's a really nice feature this was fairly cheap again I believe it was under 30 I really like it cheese didn't seem too freaked out when he was in it for the first time so that's good I would recommend this one I really don't see any issues with it it's not like the biggest one that you can get but it's also not the smallest and for the price I think it does a really good job I know that doesn't seem like a ton of supplies but honestly he's a cat living in a small apartment he doesn't need a ton of supplies all of them were fairly inexpensive especially compared to other things and they all work very well again I will link everything down below and that's all that I have for you guys today in this video I hope that this gave you some idea as to what kind of kitten supplies you will need if you are getting a kitten or cat anytime soon I recommend really doing your research before you get litter and things like that see what the best fit for you and your family might be that's all that I have for you I hope you guys enjoyed today's video if you are still here at the end comment the cat face emoji whichever one you want to and I will see you in my next video bye [Music]
