Congratulations! That's exciting. How old is your cat, and do you know the breed? That'll help me recommend the right food and supplies.

恭喜！太棒了。您的猫多大了，知道品种吗？这样我能推荐合适的食品和用品。

Great! For an adult cat, you'll need: cat food — wet and dry, a litter box and litter, food and water bowls, a scratching post, and some toys. Let me walk you through each one.

好的！成年猫需要：猫粮——湿粮和干粮、猫砂盆和猫砂、食碗水碗、猫抓板、还有一些玩具。我带您逐个看。

Look for food where real meat is the first ingredient — not 'meat by-products' or fillers. This brand is highly rated by vets and uses real chicken as the primary protein. A 7-pound bag is $22.

选第一成分是真正肉类的——不是'肉类副产品'或填充物。这个品牌受到兽医高度评价，主要蛋白质来源是真正的鸡肉。7磅装22美元。

The basic open boxes are cheapest but don't control odor well. Covered boxes are better for smell and privacy. The expensive ones are self-cleaning — they automatically scoop after your cat uses them. For a first cat, I'd start with a covered box at $25.

基本款开放式最便宜但不太控味。封闭式防臭更好，猫也更有隐私感。贵的是自动清洁的——猫用完后自动铲屎。第一次养猫的话，我建议先买25美元的封闭式。

Clumping litter is the most popular — it forms solid clumps when wet, making scooping easy. This unscented one is gentle on sensitive paws. A 20-pound box is $14 and lasts about a month for one cat.

结团猫砂最受欢迎——遇湿结成实心团，容易铲。这款无香型对敏感的猫爪很温和。20磅装14美元，一只猫大概能用一个月。

Yes! We have a whole line of sensitive stomach formulas. This one uses limited ingredients — single protein source and no grains. It's easier to digest. I'd recommend transitioning gradually over a week by mixing it with her current food.

有的！我们有一整系列肠胃敏感配方。这款用的是简单成分——单一蛋白质来源，无谷物。更容易消化。建议用一周时间逐步过渡，和她现在的食物混着吃。

For most healthy cats on a good diet, supplements aren't necessary. But since she was a shelter cat, a probiotic can help with digestion during the transition. These chews are $18 — most cats love the flavor.

对于饮食好的健康猫来说，保健品通常不需要。但因为她是收容所出来的，益生菌在过渡期能帮助消化。这种咀嚼片18美元——大多数猫喜欢这个味道。

Yes, I'd recommend a vet visit within the first week. They'll do a wellness check, update vaccinations if needed, and make sure her spay incision is healing well. If you need a vet recommendation, we partner with the clinic next door.

建议第一周内去一次。兽医会做全面检查，必要时更新疫苗，确认绝育伤口恢复良好。如果需要推荐兽医，我们和隔壁诊所有合作。

Shorthair cats don't need as much grooming, but brushing once or twice a week helps reduce shedding and hairballs. This rubber grooming brush is gentle and most cats actually enjoy it. It's only $8.

短毛猫不需要太多梳理，但每周梳一两次能减少掉毛和毛球。这个橡胶梳毛刷很温和，大多数猫其实很享受。只要8美元。

Yes, every 2 to 3 weeks. Cat nail clippers are $6. If you're nervous about doing it yourself, most vets and groomers will do it for about $10 to $15. I can show you how if you'd like — it's easier than you think.

需要，每2到3周一次。猫指甲剪6美元。如果您不敢自己剪，大多数兽医和宠物美容师收10到15美元。如果您愿意，我可以教您——比您想象的简单。
