A good book with potentially helpful tips with getting your new kitten adjusted to living in your home and adjusted to its new life. Excellent for kids to read as well, and adults may just enjoy it too.

I picked this book free up off the street. It's got quite a lot of good suggestions about raising a kitten, taking care of it, socializing it, and introducing it to other pets. If all works out, I'll have a kitten within a few months and then will be able to really judge it.
