I’m getting a kitten in about two weeks. I’ve never owned a kitten, so I have no idea what supplies to get. do you have any suggestions?
It's great that you want to be prepared for your new kitten! Aside from the obvious things for the kitten like food and water bowls, I'd recommend a tall scratching post and perch. Two litter boxes in different areas of the house are recommended. Canned kitten food (and canned adult cat food as Myla gets older) is preferred over dry food.

How much is it to get a cat at Petco ! And what should I do if I have to leave my cat at home will it mess the house up??And what’s the basic things to get for your cat ? What’s a cheap cat and a easy going cat for kids
Hello. The cats & kittens offered at Petco are actually managed by individual rescue groups. Prices will differ from rescue to rescue. All cats can do well if they are played with & fussed over once you get home. Can they get into trouble & sometimes make a mess? Absolutely. If you do not want hair & dander & kitty litter tracked all over the house, you should not have a pet. Cats may need to have their claws trimmed ( NOT REMOVED ) & plenty of opportunities to exercise their claws, otherwise they will scratch your furniture, moldings & walls. You will need different types of scratching surfaces, plenty of toys, a water & food dish, litter box ( or 2 ), & lots of patience. All cats are individuals, so when you go looking to adopt a cat, take your family & give yourself plenty of time to spend with your potential pet, & ask lots of questions about them. Good luck & thanks for using Boop by Petco.

My kitten has an appointment to get declawed by a laser on August 1st. What will the restrictions be since I have another cat? Should I keep my kitten in a small space? 2 days after she gets declawed I’m having someone check in on her for 3 days what
I would keep Marvel in a large crate or a small room by herself to rest up. She will need a litter box filled with shredded newspaper during this healing time. She should be kept alone to restrict movement. Your vet will give detailed discharge instructions. Have the person checking on her follow these instructions.

What all do I need for a new kitten
Great question, and congrats on your new kitten! You will need a litter box, unscented litter, a scoop for the litter box, food bowl, water bowl, a kitten formulated food, and kitten safe toys. You may also consider getting him a scratching post. In terms of food, the brands I recommend include Royal Canin, Hill's Science diet, Purina ProPlan, and Iams. It's important Luna is feed a kitten formulated food because he needs higher amounts of protein, calcium, and calories than adult cats, and a kitten food will provide that for him. You will also need to take him to the vet to get vaccines, flea and deworming treatments, and heartworm treatment. Good luck, I hope this helps :-)

Training & Behavior
How do you prevent a cat from licking her paws and to stay calm after a laser declaw and what’s the best way to train cats to not go after my food?
Keep an Ecollar on Marvel to prevent her from licking her paws, and keep her confined to a small room or crate to limit movement. I'd keep them out of the room when you eat so they don't go after your food.
