What to buy for two kittens

[Pegase]

Have had cats before but always one. This time I will have two brothers together. Am I right that I need multiple litter trays and feeding stations even though they shared when with mum? One cat tree with multiple level beds?

Breeder said one good sized pet carrier not two. Hoping to find a lightweight canvas one not the heavy plastic monstrosity I had for my last cat.

Also they will need to stay downstairs in the night as we have a baby. Better to be in a small space anyway of course.

Is it possible to crate train kittens to start with. I presume not but am struggling on ideas of how to kitten proof the two fireplaces downstairs for a whole night of exploration!

Two is better than one, they’ll keep each other company. Use the old crate to pick them up as they’ll be tiny and fit in.

On their first night give them somewhere safe to sleep but still able to explore. We put them in the dining room and blocked off anywhere dangerous.

Slowly let them in the rest of the house. I think one litter tray is fine to start with when they are little. Our were outdoor cats but I think Exclisively indoor cats might need 2 + 1.

We have one feeding station and one (large) litter tray for 4 cats. We also have two large pet carriers which each fit two cats. Never get any problems.
Please don't crate train kittens. What is this obsession with locking up animals? Just keep them in one room with food and litter until they are sufficiently confident to explore further - usually a matter of days. If the living room isn't suitable because of open fireplaces then use another room. And you'll need to block the fireplaces anyway - your kittens WILL get into them and up the chimney.

Yes the fireplaces are the issue - they are in both kitchen and living room hence my concern about overnights. The living room one is used and had a fire guard but easily scalable by a kitten! Our older cat obviously didn't go near it so has never been a problem before

Hmm prev Mn thread on this suggests lighting a fire while they watch (supervised!) so understand it is dangerous?
