My wife have two cereballar hypoplasia kittens in our upstairs bathroom.
We tried leaving out some wet food in a dish for them but noticed several
hours later that ants had gone on the attack and raided the bathroom!
We got the ants cleaned up and I sprinkled baby powder around the baseboards
(I heard baby powder will deter them?).
We started feeding them wet food in the morning and afternoon on a dish on a towel in the bedroom and putting the towel in the wash and dish in the dishwasher after and havent seen any ants since.
We are also giving them dry food in between the morning and afternoon wet food feedings.
So two questions:
1)Will this be enough food for them ?
We split a can of food between the two kittens and there is usually some leftover so I think it probably is enough.
2)If the ants come back is there an ant killer that is safe to use around
cats/kittens or will we need to move them to another room ?
