Owning a kitty can be a fun and challenging experience. Before you start a relationship with a kitty, be aware that there are some essential things you need to buy your cat. These are just some in general:
brush and comb
toys
2 bowls,  one for water, one for food
collar
ID tag
nail trimmer
liter box and scoop
cage for trips
scratching post

Nail Trimming

This may be a happy experience for you and your cat. But for those people who have a hard time cutting their kitty's nails, here are some things to help you and educate you. There are two kinds of trimmers: guillotine and the scissors-type.
A guillotine has an oval guide. The kitty's claw can go inside it. Once inside, you can snip the metal part and there ya have it! (This is the type I use and it's, in my opinion, a lot easier that the scissors type.) The scissors-type are just like regular scissors. Here's how you cut the nail:
Gently push the paw. The nail will come out because cats have retractable claws. If you look carefully, you will see a pink area coming half way down. DO NOT CUT THIS PART! Only cut the white part, not the pink. If yo do, it WILLl bleed. Trust me on this one. But, if you mess up and do vut the pink part, use “Kwik-Stop powder” to help stop it. Here's a method people use for cutting nails: Cut one nail a night. It' a whole lot easier than trying to cut every single nail in one night and trying to tie you kitty down!

Play Time!

Every cat needs to play. It's great exercise and it's quality time with you and your cat! Here are some games you can play with your cat. Provided here are some tips, too!
A great toy are“cat fishing poles." If they're too expensive, why don't you just make one. They're simple to make and you can find alternatives to the things sold in pet stores. Make sure you don’t make something so small that your cat/kitten will swallow it. And most importantly, be creative!
Another hit, with my cat Penny, are cardboard boxes. She loves to play in them. To make them even more fun, make holes and poke some string into them and just watch the amazement your cat experiences.
Here are some games you can play with your kittty:
UFO: In a dark room use a flashlight for the kitty to chase.
MOUSE: Use an object for the kitty to chase on ground.
BIRD: Similar to mouse, but in air.
FISHING: In this game  you are the fisherman and the cat/kitten is the fish. Your
cat/kitten is trying to catch the object hooked on the pole.

Tips 4 Your Web Site

       YOU HAVE ABOUT 1 MINUTE TO CATCH YOUR VISITOR'S EYES

 If you have a web site, or if you're starting a web site, I'm sure you
   would like to have people who visit it often. Here are some tips:
You need to make your home page look appealing. Actually,
everything should look appealing! It should look really good- if not,
that visitor’s on his way to another web site.
Your web site may be interesting, but your visitor decides if he
wants to stay or not. You need to have something that will keep
your visitor glued to his seat!
I would recommend you use some type of color and a cool
background. I like colorful things.
You home page shouldn't be all words. If you're doing a cat web site,
for example, you should limit the words and add a few pictures. I
also love to see lots of pictures- not too many though!
 In the links, do not over picture your visitors. Only 2-3 should be
enough. It will be very hard for your visitors to read a paragraph if
you have cat animations dashing though a paragraph!
Also, keep your page updated often so your visitors will come back to it.
