Lisa Williams, Belmont County's Dog Warden and Humane Office, said that cats make great pets.
"Cats are loving and sweet and every home should have one," Williams said.

It's best to keep the kitten in one room until it's old enough to explore the house and remember where the litter box is," Williams said.
Williams noted that litter training is part of a cat's instinct.She said that kittens as young as a month old will learn to use the litter box.
Personalities of cats are very different.Many cats will share the loving attention from a family, while others may be more aloof and prefer to show their love on their own terms.
"Cats are free spirits and know what they want and when they want it," Williams said.

"It's a good idea to buy small bags of food for your cat to save money in case he doesn't like the food," Williams said.
