I need to be talked down, and, hopefully given some kitten tips!
My loved and adored cat Scully had to be PTS in March due to kidney disease, I was heart broken and my house is way too quiet and doesn't feel right, so I'm adopting 2 kittens from the same friend who I got Scully from 11 years ago as I feel there will still be a connection to my kitty (if that makes sense!). About 4 years ago I had a post on here when she went missing for 3 weeks and everyone was incredibly kind and supportive and I lurk on this board a lot though rarely post.
I realise it's ridiculous I'm panicking so much, it's not like I'm not used to having a cat in the house but it seems such a long time ago that I had a kitten, let alone two!
I plan on keeping them confined in my snug for the first few days, it over looks the garden, has Scully's cat tree and a minimum of hiding places, I have of course, bought new toys and beds etc.
I'm worried about them getting out before they're spayed (they will go outside once they've been done) especially in the warmer weather with open windows. Then, I'm wondering how it works with feeding and a litter tray? Do I get them both a litter tray and separate food bowls and water bowls or do they share stuff? Won't one eat the others food?!
(I plan on blocking the patio doors from the snug so I won't accidentally open them!)
I keep veering between incredibly excitement, sadness at not having Scully here anymore and then wild panic!
Any help, hints and tips greatly appreciated - many thanks!
