A friend of mine - well more of an associate I'm polite with - has just been bought a kitten. I think it's younger than the 12 weeks they were told but that's just my opinion.
Anyway - she's out at work all day five days a week. And she's keeping the poor little mite in a dog crate. I think this is wrong and that the kitten should have at least one room to roam about while its home alone 8 hours a day. Someone else happened to say this to her and apparently a vet said its perfectly okay to keep the kitten in the dog cage. And it sleeps in there as well from about 11pm to 8am.
I'm not a cat person and don't really know but surely a vet wouldn't advise that keeping a tiny kitten caged up alone 75% of the time is okay?
Just wondering as I don't know any vets or cat people to ask really 
I feel so sorry for the poor little thing - I don't doubt the novelty will wear off
