I just adopted my first kitten from the shelter three weeks ago and she is about nine weeks old. I have a few questions.
1. My home is currently being fleabombed and we cannot enter for a few hours. She's in her carrier and I brought her food, toys, and water but I have no where to take her thus were sitting in my car. Is it okay to keep her from a litterbox for a few hours and what precautions should I take before bringing her back into a newly bombed home?
2. I let her roam the home when I'm around to make sure she doesn't get into anything dangerous but at night I leave her in my bedroom, which is the only "kitten proof" room in the house. For the first two weeks she was wonderful but this past week she has been keeping me up. I tire her out playing with her an hour before I go to bed but she always finds her second wind it seems an hour into my sleep. I want to let her go out so I can get some rest but when is it okay for her to roam unattended?
3. After reading catinfo I've kept her on a grain-free wet diet which was against the recommendation of the shelter, her vet, and the petstore owners who all said she needed dry food and that wet food should be used as a treat. I'm concerned that she is only eating about 2/3 a can a day. I leave her dry food out overnight which she devours. The shelter said she was eating a full can plus dry food they left out, the vet/petstore said to feed her as much as she can eat, and catinfo didn't go into great detail about kitten feeding habits/schedule. She acts normal from what I have read so am I worrying about nothing?
