Be aware that not all cats like a hood on their litter tray. Clumping litter is easiest. I use World's Best from PetValu. Make sure that the litter tray is put somewhere quiet. They also say that you should one litter tray per cat plus one. If your house is large enough then a second one (on a different level) would be good.
Never make grooming a game! A good quiet time thing to do. Get the kitten use to it right from the start. Also get used to handling the front paws. Squeezing the nail bed slightly so you will have easy to trim claws time in the future.
Chase-y toys are fun for them. The ones like a fishing rod. Don't use them for jumping at a young age. More for chasing along the floor.
And you need a good strong pet carrier. Again go to the pet store and they will be delighted to help.
As far as food goes you really should feed wet food. There is an increased risk in kidney problems for cats fed kibble. We also have a water fountain for our cats. They love it.
Good luck!
