Try providing your cat with more appropriate chewing options like interactive toys or cat grass to redirect their behavior. Additionally, discourage chewing on inappropriate items by using bitter-tasting sprays or double-sided tape on the shoelaces and sheets. Make sure to praise and reward your cat when they chew on their toys instead of forbidden items.

Feral cats usually occupy the role of a predator in the food chain. They primarily feed on small mammals, birds, insects, and other small prey, which helps control their populations. At the same time, feral cats can also become prey for larger predators such as coyotes or birds of prey.

Well, there are many ways to get a kitten, for example:

1/ Local pet shops usually have kittens for about 100-250 dollars depending on the breed of cat. My Himalayan X was $250, but I have seen pure bread ragdolls for $1000.

2/ You can go to your local animal refuge and adopt. These places are always looking for people to adopt their animals that they have rescued, so if you don't want to go through with all the litter training and stuff, you can also get a fully grown cat from animal refuges. These cats are generally about 100-150 dollars, again depending on the breed or gender. Animal refugees include: YAPS, RSPCA and many more. Type in animal refuges in google and you should find something in your region.

3/ Make a poster saying 'Wanted kitten' as the heading. Put in things like what breed you want and the price you are willing to pay. Then put your phone number on the poster and write 'call me if you have kittens for sale' and stick the poster on your local notice board. Sometimes there are breeders who are looking to sell, and sometimes people accidentally find out that their cat is pregnant and need to find a home for the kittens.

4/ Buy online via sites like trading post. This way you can scan through the website, see pictures and read discriptions until you have found the kitten for you. JUst go to www.tradingpost.com.au and in the search box type kittens, and in the drop down go to pets & horses. There are always plenty of pages of kittens needing homes.

Now I've told you a couple of ways of getting a kitten. Good luck, and I hope you find the perfect kitten for you :D
