I just got a pair of 12 week old siblings from my friend's cat's litter last night. at the moment they are engaged in an epic battle for supremacy of a cardboard box. i'm
my question is about leaving them unsupervised. because of my job (Armed guard for a defense contractor.....) i have to work nights. i've been off for a couple days so i was able to stay home with the kittens last night however i do work tonight. to be honest i'm not crazy about letting them roam my two-floor apartment for eight hours while i'm gone, i'm concerned about accidents (one has alreday thrown up on the rug following an incident where he was chasing his tail around in circles right after eating, and the other has succeeded in tracking "stuff" from the litter box around the kitchen) and them getting into things or stuck somewhere. i think i'd rest easier at work tonight knowing they are confined for their own safety.
i'm wondering if i put them in the bathroom overnight with their food, water, litterbox, and some stuff to keep them busy like boxes and blankets if that would be an ok alternative. ( i'll leave the toilet seat down of course)
the bathroom is about 5ftx10ft (including the bathtub)
however there is no direct heat source in the bathroom so i'm concerned it might get cold in there if i leave the door shut overnight. i was going to put an old blanket down on the floor to at least stop them from getting chilled from the tile floor but i'm wondering if it will be enough.
i don't really have a lot of options in here as far as rooms where they could be confined go.
any suggestions or recommendations?
