Start with the basics your cat will use straight away: food and water bowls, a safe carrier, something to scratch, one of the cat litter trays they can use comfortably, litter, and a simple cat dry food you know they will eat. If you want a lower-dust option for daily use, cat litter tofu can also be a practical place to start. RSPCA’s tips for new cat owners cover the same essentials, and in most homes those first few basics matter more than buying lots of extras too early.
You usually cannot stop scratching completely, because it is normal cat behaviour. What helps is giving your cat a better place to do it and more to do during the day, such as cat scratchers, regular play, and a setup that feels more interesting than the sofa. Ohio State’s Indoor Pet Initiative notes that scratching is a normal feline behaviour, and if you have a bigger cat, a sturdy cat tree for large cats can also help by giving them somewhere appropriate to climb, stretch, and burn off energy.
That is very common. Cats can be particular about texture, size, shape, smell, and even where something is placed, so the issue is not always the product itself. RSPCA guidance explains that cats usually prefer litter areas that feel quiet, private, and away from food and water, so setup can matter just as much as the item you bought.
Some cats also do better with more space, which is why an extra large cat litter box can sometimes work better than a smaller one. A good rule is to start simple, change one thing at a time, and give your cat a little time before deciding they truly dislike it.
