first night with new kitten!

And she's fast asleep next to me on the sofa. She loves her basket and has eaten a few times but hasn't had any water or used the litter tray at all. It's that ok??

Has she been eating wet food ? (They get much liquid from that.) The litter tray is a bit tense making as ever - but how long has she been in your house?

Oh - and how old is she?

[cozietoesie]

PS - if she's asleep next to you, it sounds pretty good.

Thanks! She has eaten about half a packet of wet kitten food and she's been here since 12pm. About to tuck her up her room for the night! She's only 9 weeks, which is pretty tiny.

You could maybe try 'positioning' her in her tray and holding her paws to do a milli-second scrabble. (Just to remind her of her duty.) Not for too long, though: you don't need her taking against it.

They can cross their legs for ages if they want - so see how she does overnight when she feels more private.

Best of luck and let us know how she gets on.

Oooh, thanks. I'll try that in the morning if she's not managed anything!
