One thing I would give you advice about is about the cat meowing for food before their usual feeding time. My boy cat does this. Most mornings he wakes me or trys to wake me for feedings before his usual time. I ignore him. If I do get up early, I don't feed him until his usual time. He thinks he is an alarm clock but he can't tell time. My theory is that the more food I give him the more he will ask for and that's not good for him.
Enjoy your new kitty.
