Bring Me Home! Cats Make Great Pets

- Worksheets that help you make informed decisions, keep good records, and more
- Questions and charts to help you determine if your family is ready for cat ownership, whether to get a kitten or a cat, where to get your pet, and more
- Checklists covering cat-proofing your home, vaccinations your new pet should have, items you'll need before bringing your cat home, and other aspects of being a responsible pet "parent"
- Cat care chore charts, including the dreaded litter box duty
