We have just taken ownership of a delightful four month old kitten - or I should probably say he has moved in and given instructions to the staff. He is eating, drinking and pooing to order, purring like a steam engine and coping incredibly well with the adoring attention of 2 DCs (supervised as needed I hasten to add!)
When he's not doing any of the above or exploring the house with vim he does spend quite a lot of time spark out - currently on top of my bookshelf completely ignoring the fancy cat bed provided 
That IS normal isn't it? Reassure a neurotic one who is getting back into practice with cat ownership and hasn't had a kitten since 1992
