Hello how may I help you? i need some pet advice I can help with pets. What would you like to know? how much space do i need for a cat? Cats don't require too much space. they are fairly self sufficient as far as entertainment, as well. ok, what food do they like? They like all kinds of cat food. i would recommend science diet. A little pricey, but worth it. is a scratching post a good idea? Depends on the cat. Some don't really scratch too much. thanks You are welcome.
