Congratulations on being a Kitty parent to be!
I'll echo everything said above regarding toys etc.. String, box, ideally full of crumpled brown paper from when you order something and it comes in a box 10x too big for your product! Laser pointer, catnip and a throwable toy with catnip in!
*Parent head on*
MAKE SURE YOU GET INSURANCE! Our boy has a condition on his feet where his pads go very hard and crusty, we've tried a lot of stuff from feet wraps, steroids, so much stuff & homeopathic treatments which consists of different tablets at about £20 a bottle, of which he's had them changed to try & find the right tablets and must have tried at least £500 worth of them with at least £1500 of apointments etc.. handily covered by PetPlan who have been awesome, all for £8 each for him and his sister.
Please be responsible and do the insurance on said kitty, who I think should be named Henry
Having the insurance allows you to enjoy him more with a mindset that if he needs medical care he is covered for it and you won't go broke in the process! All PetPlan require is upto date vaccinations & a dental check (to cover any teeth related issues) every 6 months, which is a simple health check that our vets do not charge for.
*Parents head off*
Enjoy le Kitty & give him a Miaow from me & mine!!

Henry could work! Ill suggest 
the winning suggestion gets a thumbs up and my own personal 'Horray!'
Didnt realise insurance was that cheap, will do it. Am i right in thinking they cant be insured until 6mnths? I swear i saw that somewhere?

Out of interest, do you have a list of kit you've bought for the kittens arrival?
I'm going to be getting one myself in a couple of months, and a list would be no end of help
Hope this helps mate

Just checked with the gf and I think we insured Ben & Lola when we first had them (9 weeks old). They offer Kitten insurance on 8 week olds+ or 6 weeks old if rehomed or from a approved PetPlan breeder.
Kinger, get insurance on that list
Call him Dave, we need more cats called Dave in the world

Yeah, why do they do that?
A few weeks back I bought my cat a lovely soft bed from PAH. She seemed interested, then just a few hours later, I found her absolutely soundo over my printer

LMAO. Tell me about it. Mine likes wardrobes, tables, shelves anywhere but the rather comfortable bed I bought her. Gave it away. I think it may have something to do with the fact she loves to sprawl out usually in a very wanton position whereas her bed was more restrictive.
I bought a couple of these things which she loves and put them in her favourite sleeping spots.

Reserved a 9 week old kitten to collect on friday! We brought most of the bits over the last month or so and have just been waiting for a kitten to pop up near us and now one has!
So i was just wondering when do i need to book it in for the vet for initial vaccinations? I understand these need to be had around 9weeks which is his current age now. I dont think it would be fair to take him straight away on saturday, would have thought i should let him settle a bit first and maybe book him in early next week? Or would that be too late?
This is the only thing im a bit unclear on, other than that we cant wait! Been looking into it for months so hopefully are prepared
I'm just going through the same thing as my kitten "Bugsy" has just had his first vac's at 9 weeks of age and he is due back at 12 weeks for his second.
