Hi,
After having a cat for 18 years, who unfortunately passed away 5 years ago, we decided that we wanted to have another cat. We went for a 4 month old male ginger kitten called joey. Its still another 2 months before we can get it neutured and let it out the house, so it currently stays indoors. We have found that joey needs constant supervision during the day as he will try to eat anything he finds on the floor and loves climbing on everything everything, very curious cat indeed. When we need the break or need to eat lunch/dinner, we keep him in the spare room (which is also where he sleeps and eats) until we ready to let him out and supervise him again. As we can't supervise him all during the night, we keep him locked in his room (has a glass door to keep an eye on him). He cries for about an hour and then he quietens down, but he generally prefers to be exploring the house. Are we being too cautious by supervising him or should we just let him roam round the house?
