💡 Socialization & Adjustment Tips
- Allow your kitten to explore gradually. Don’t introduce the whole house on Day 1.
- Use a routine. Feed, cuddle, and play at the same times daily.
- Start bonding early. Purradox kittens are socialized, but building trust continues at home.
- Introduce other pets slowly. Use scent swapping and supervised visits.
