Over a few days, slowly introduce the cat to the rest of the house, including the other pets and household members. Cats vary in terms of how demanding they are as pets, so let yours guide you to the level of attention needed, whether it's your hand for petting or your lap for sitting. Most cats will instinctively use a litterbox. Some cats may need to be placed in the box and guided into making little scratching motions with their front paws so they get the idea. Many cats place such a premium on cleanliness that you should clean their box daily.
Cats also value privacy, so put the litter box in a convenient, secluded area.
If you have more than one cat, it is a good idea to provide separated litter boxes for each cat. Grooming Most cats will spend hours grooming themselves, but even the most avid groomer can use a little help from time to time. Even shorthaired cats benefit from weekly brushing, a task that can be a pleasurable experience for both of you. Also, remember that longhaired cats may need more frequent brushing. Brushing your feline friend will help with hairballs and shedding.
