Food: both canned and dry food
Dry food and wet food are the two types of cat food available. Dry food is divided into categories such as kitten food, adult food, food for all ages, and so forth. You have to select the best option for your cat's age. Wet food refers to canned foods in various forms such as mousse, fish slices, and so on. They have a lot more moisture than dry food.

Daily neccessities
Bowls for food and water
After you've purchased cat food, you'll need to prepare food and water bowls! For durability and safety, ceramic or stainless steel are recommended.
Cat litter, litter box, and litter scoop
Cat litter and litter boxes serve as a cat's toilet! The urine and feces of your cat are buried in cat litter. Cat pawrents must clean their cat's litter box on a regular basis with a litter scoop. Soyabean litter, paper litter, wooden litter, crystal litter, and more forms of cat litter are available for pawrents to select from. Litter boxes come in a variety of styles. They come in various sizes, with some having a cover and others without. You can pick the ideal one based on the size of your cat.

Items for outing: Cat leash and cat carrier
For an outside cat, a cat leash and carrier are essential! When you're out with your cat, you don't want it to get lost. So get your cat a cat carrier and a cat leash!
Bedding and cage
Get a comfy bed for your new animal buddy! Furthermore, because most cats require some time to adjust to their new surroundings, it is recommended that you keep your new four-legged companion in a cage for approximately a week before allowing it to roam freely in your home!
Flea preventative
Consult your veterinarian to determine which brand is best for your cat!
Hairball remedy/catnip
Cats enjoy licking their fur to keep it clean. It's natural for them to swallow their own fur while licking, thus they may vomit on occasion. Hairball remedy is an intestinal lubricant that aids cats in eliminating hairballs through feces. Catnip encourages a cat's bowel movement and aids in the removal of hairballs.
Grooming products
Ear cleaner
Over time, a cat's ears might become stained. If left untreated, ear dirt causes some cats to shake their heads or scratch their feet, which can lead to other health issues. As a result, it's critical to clean your cat's ear on a regular basis.
Brush
Cat brushes come in a variety of shapes and sizes, including shampoo brushes, tooth combs, and slicker brushes. Cats of various breeds have variable hair lengths. Cat owners should select the appropriate brush for their cat based on its characteristics.
Nail trimmers
Remember to trim your cat's nails on a regular basis to keep it from clawing itself or other people!
Cat toys
Cats enjoy playing, in addition to their everyday requirements. Purchase some toys for your new feline companion and have fun with it!
Cat teaser: Cats find moving objects appealing.
Cat teasers come in a variety of shapes and sizes, including ball-shaped, strip-shaped, feathery, and other variations.
Cat tree: Cats enjoy jumping around.
Purchase a cat tree for your cat to climb on, as cats enjoy "monitoring" humans...
Scratcher: Act as claw sharpening tool, to keep your cat from scratching your couch!
