Help! Stuck under a sleeping kitten..

Bought baby Demelza home today. She seems happy! She’s been purring and kneading at me as soon as the kids went to bed and it was quiet. I tried putting her to bed in the kitchen with the door shut with her bed, a blanket, water & litter. But she was crying and it hurt my heart!

I came downstairs and opened the door and she was actually in her bed.

But I felt guilty and she was sat At her bowl so I fed her abit (she’s mega greedy! And was actually climbing up the back of my legs for food..?)

And now she’s passed out on me on the sofa!

What do I do? Wake her and put her in the kitchen? Try and sleep on said sofa? 😩

She sleeps in the kitchenBlush

She has a sofa, warmth, food and her toys plus her litter tray. We tried the livingroom but because the stairs are straight in there she just stood at dd3s door crying. 😩 when she’s abit older she will be sleeping upstairs, I like to have the dcs doors open and mine. Plus the husband is a big guy and I don’t want him squashing hed 😩

Oh she’s adorable!! We have two already and keep talking about getting another.

Why why why did you try and put her in the kitchen though? Halloween Shock

Look at her 😩🥰🥰🥰I’m so uncomfortable though. Need new sofas if I’m going to have to commit to the sitting down life!

You are her body slave, your sole purpose in life is to cater to her every whim and demand. As they get older and the weather gets colder, this can mean sitting still for hours - although you do have a lovely lap warmer!

Try one of your jumpers wrapped round a warmish hot water bottle in a smallish box. Worked for our kitten.

I think this is just your life now OP. If you have a job you need to hand in your notice so you can be available for nap facilitation at all times.

Best advice get another one. 2 kittens growing up together are actually less work than one. They play and sleep together it's amazing to watch too

She slept absolutely fine, she had a poo in her later tray. Husband got up at 4 and played with her for an hour before he went work. Then we were up at 6. She’s so clingy 😂 she climbed up my leg earlier when I was making breakfast. She’s calmed down with her eating. She seems very settled.

She keeps purring and rubbing herself against my hands. 😍😍😭

Our cats always slept in the kitchen, even as kittens, but there were two of them.

Oh I remember when our cat was small. It's just like having a baby again. I had to do the washing up with one hand as he insisted on being carried always.

Oh heck yes. They need ALL THE FOOD ALL THE TIME it's a nightmare. Wet food as well as dry, so do wet two/three times a day and keep a big bowl of dry and a waterbowl.

Oh and kittens eat LOADS. My vet told me to feed them on demand when they are that little as their tummies are so small. I left biscuits down for them to graze on
