It's also important to understand the vet care your kitten needs as well as the supplies that you'll have to buy and the financial obligation that comes with having a kitten. Familiarizing yourself with kitten care basics and the money side of owning a kitten can ensure that you're truly ready to bring home a new pet.

For pet parents, though, warm weather also signifies the increased population of one of the most obnoxious pests ever — fleas.
