We adopted an 11 week old kitten today from the Cats Protection League and she is totally gorgeous. I would like some advice please on what to do for the best RE sleeping and working. She is currently confined to the living room. Can she sleep here alone all night or should we move her to our room over night? We are working tomorrow so I am concerned about her being alone all night and then alone most of the day. Any advice would be fab

I think I would let her into the room with the most traffic. She'll be asleep most of the time whilst you're at work and once you're home, she'll want some cuddles and it'll be time for playtime anyways. My girl was like that and I've had her since 9 weeks.

The thing is, if you put her in your room and she has the zoomies then it'd possibly be annoying. Personally, I've gotten used to it but I have the door open so she can enter and exit whenever she wants and it was like that at her age

I slept downstairs with my kitten the first few nights. Once I was sure she knew how to use the litter tray I let her upstairs. A litter tray close by and water and some dry food. She slept on my head for the first couple of weeks. Now she sleeps under the bed. She pops up occasionally to bite my toes and run laps of the bed

I felt too guilting to leave her downstairs alone.

My little one is 16 weeks now. The longest I have left her is four hours, I think she sleeps the whole time I am gone.
