No be marriage vow be this?
Anyway I've been doing a lot of reading and googling. First off I want to know what's up with feeding and the kind of things they eat especially with regards to nigerian food. I've read about the noise part and the waste part. Will do my best to potty train. I'm ready to vaccinate. And I get the part where they're like children..

I think I just need info on the basics especially feeding. And understanding how they communicate.

No b marriage vow oooooh!
Na commitment

Well, in regards to feeding your kitten, I advice you Google list of foods that are toxic to cats. Some of which are onions, garlic, chocolate, apple seeds, grapes and others. Juz Google it sha they are plenty.
As for me, now that my cat is grown i usually just feed her whatever i eat but I'm mindful to select out onions or garlic when I feed human food to her. A lot of people may regard feeding human food to cats as being wrong but let's face it, cat foods are expensive so feeding cats on strictly ready made processed cat food may prove to be difficult. And also, my cat has never for once fallen sick with her feeding routine. Once in a while, I buy fish for her alone to eat. I must confess that when i first got her as a kitten, transitioning her from her previous diet in her former home to a different diet in my own home, made her have diarrhea for about a week or so. But after that she has been as healthy and strong as a tigress that she is. Honestly, i dont even have any need for litter boxes in my house, cuz she never uses them. She always does her business outside. At a spot which I'm aware of in case I need to monitor her stool. It usually looks firm and okay sha.



Oooooh! I almost forgot.
Take it easy with the amount of milk you give to your kitten. Tom & Jerry made us believe that cats really love milk (no doubt, a lot do) but too much milk can give a kitten diarrhea. Milk has a chemical called Lactose. And alot of cats aren't tolerant of it so it can be dangerous to a young kitten. That is why it is adviced you don't feed you kitten cow milk.
Though, that isn't to say there aren't cats who will suffer if they take cow milk. In fact those set of cats do very well on it and seem to enjoy it. But just to be on the safe side feed your kitten milk in moderation then watch out for watery stool. If you notice any form of diarrhea then immediately discontinue feeding milk to your kitten buh if you don't, still feed it in moderation. It may be weird but my cat doesn't really care about milk. It doesn't really catches her fancy. But one thing she absolutely completely love 100% is kuli-kuli. Weird right?!
If you want my cat to be your best best friend, then just give her kuli-kuli. She goes nuts whenever she sees it.

I actually just got a cat and that's why I'm on this thread. I've not picked it up yet though and the cats siblings are still available as at yesterday. I'm in Benin too. Drop your contact.

Anyway, I need tips on what to prepare before bringing my new cat home.

Okay.
First off, you have to be mentally prepared. Cat are just like children, they're a responsibility which you must take care of. I'm assuming you just got a kitten. So i ask this question. Are you ready to properly feed and look into the well being of your kitten even till adulthood? Are you ready for occasional loud meowing & yowling just to get your attention or even during heat periods? Are you ready for a huge amount of energy bursts & rough play and scratches & bites, mostly as a kitten? Are you ready to deal with the fact that your cat will occasionally bring you gifts in the form of live or dead animals (if you allow it roam outdoors) Are you ready to be patient if your cat makes accident around the house {poo or pee} and also take time to properly litter train your kitten? Are you ready to vaccinate and take good care of your kitten (health wise) even till adulthood? And the most important of all Are you ready to love your kitten unconditionally in good and also in bad times, for better for worse untill death seperates you?

I know they are so so many questions but if you can't fully be in support and properly answer those questions then there's no point in you even sharing your living space with a cat. Kittens really outgrow kittenhood very fast. In just some months it'll be grown up and it may not be as cute as it was as a kitten.
I'm not an expert or a pro in raising cats, as a matter of fact I'm still learning more with each day i spend with my cat. And I'm open to learning more from other experienced cat owners. I've lived with my cat Taila for about 3 years now. She has been a bundle of joy to me. We've had a lot of experiences that is somewhat funny and memorable.

Smart 5 get 4g na

I'll look it up

sunshineV:
use that money and buy redmi 9c. better chip, better screen, better ui, better software support etc.


all those tecno phones go spoil after 6 month

I looked up the Xiaomi redmi 9c & I must say, I immediately fell in love with the specs & its MUI user interface. Its different from other OS I've seen so far. But its more expensive.
The cheapest price I saw on jumia was 61k.
My budget is not more than 50k but if I do get more, I'll absolutley go for the redmi 9c without hesitation.

Tecno Spark Go has come out with a 2021 version as well in case you are not aware. if it falls under your budget u can go for it friend. The battery specs plus the helio A20 chipset look good here. Camera could be better tho

I agree.
But in terms of Specs, they're both identical with very little body changes.
Another change is the android version. I can't confirm it though cuz some places say the spark go 2021comes with android 11 (go edition) out of the box. While some says it still comes with the same android 10 (go edition) out of the box.
Its even confusing. Tecno is just remaking the same phone and branding it with different names.

uniqueuser:
Have you checked out Infinix Smart 5?

Yeah. But the network connection put me off. (Just 2G & 3G)

paltielx:
Samsung or nokia 1.4

I also considered the Nokia 1.4 but it has a lower battery than both the spark go & samsung a02 and the camera quality is also considerably lower. 13mp+ 2mp for both phones & just 8mp+2mp for the Nokia. Buh that's on paper though. I don't know if it'll reflect on real life usage.

scarycuteface:
Spark Go?

Yes.
There's the Tecno spark go 2020( more recently the 2021 variant) and there's also the spark 6 go. Both phones are exactly the same in terms of internal specs & looks. One can very easily be mistaken for the other. I believe the only noticable difference between them is just their name.

I'm making this post with a Samsun A02. Was bought brand new 2 months ago and given to me. Sparkling clean with everything in place.
But I intend selling it to buy a Tecno Spark 6 Air.

How has your experience been with the phone so far? And is there a major motive behind your decision to switch to the spark 6 air?

I'm planning on buying a phone in a month time and I intend on using it as my main device. I've been looking up on budget smartphones & I narrowed down my decision to the Samsung galaxy a02 & the tecno spark go 2020.
Both phones share similar specs except that the Samsung has no fingerprint scanner or even face unlock (which is less secure). And the Samsung is more pricier (52k at a retail outlet close to me) The spark go 2020 retails about 45 to 48k.

So which would you all advice I go for?
P.S I'm not a heavy gamer. But I spend a lot of time on social media.
