Kittens everywhere - anyone feel like recommending a cordless vacuum?

[TailsoftheManyPaws]

Not, I hasten to add, to suck up the actual kittens, just the kitty litter and kitten food and shreds of cardboard that the little blighters are constantly scattering?

(We have 5 foster kittens plus mum with us at the moment, and mum disapproves strongly of the full-size vacuum, so I could do with something less scary.)

I did think you’ll need a huge machine to suck a kitten up. Try a eufy robo hoover. Love mine.

They look amazing, but I don't think the budget will stretch!

Can we see the kittens please?

How could I forget?
Representative sample attached. I suspect at least one kitten nipped into both photos.

5 dkittens you say?

I do have towels and rugs down everywhere. They think this is great fun and scratch them up in order to scatter more cat litter, scraps of cardboard and kitten nuggets underneath.

It's surprising what kittens can shift when they put their minds to it.

Oh my goodness 😍😍😍

My cats loath the dyson. Scarper as soon as they see it. They don't mind the eufy robovac at all. They seem mildly entertained / nonchalant about it. I think it must be the pitch of the sound or something.

I dont know about the cordless vaccum but I'll happily come and cuddle all the kittens and mum to keep them out of the way while you hoover

Be honest , you don't really want a new vacuum, you just want to Stealth Boast kittens

I have a Shark (corded but you can get cordless) our female cat just sits there Meh when I hoover round her

Rumbled!

(But I really could do with a better way to clear up cat litter than waiting for Kitten 1 to try to eat it, because he's a bit thick.)

They're adorable!

I had two foster kittens who covered their room in litter, shredded newspaper, fluff and god knows what else twice a day so you have my sympathy. We have a cordless dyson and it is rubbish; the battery life is approximately six seconds and i would say it sucks, but the problem is that it doesn’t.

nothing to add on how to clean up, but MOAR kitten pics please! Are they all torties?

More pics, you say?

😍

Kitten pile!

Their poor mum is somewhere underneath that lot.

Has the little one improved?.

Almost got distracted by kittens and forgot why I was here...Shark cordless all the way. Totally changed my life...dont even think that’s an exaggeration.

Ah. No. Thanks for thinking of the little one, Fluffy, but she went downhill and we lost her (partly why I'm distracting myself with cordless vacs and kitten pics).

You did your best for her.

What about an old style carpet sweeper? Light, not too noisy and easy to use.

That's not a bad idea! We have a secondhand shop nearby that does all sorts of odd things that my mum used to have.

Second the Ewbank suggestion. Argos does them for under £20. www.argos.co.uk/product/8550954
Or there’s the trusty rubber brush for £10.
