Hello, I recently posted on this site a couple weeks ago about my pregnant cat giving birth to 4 kittens. Everything has been going as well as it could so far. I have a "living space" for them in the bathroom, secluded from my other 2 kitties. I know I didn't have much to worry about in the beginning, because they wouldn't be walking around. But 2 weeks have past, & some of them are wandering and going out of the carrier I have set up for the mother(it's a giant dog carrier I got new by accident). I am worried about them wandering around in the bathroom & something bad happening by some stupid chance.
I guess what I'm trying to ask is, how can I make my bathroom as safe as possible for the kittens? Here's what I've done so far:
1. I have clean towels lining the carrier, and some carpets on the outside for the floor to prevent the kittens from falling on the hard floor(in case one stumbles out of the carrier).
2. The toilet seat is always down when I shut the bathroom door.
3. The light is always off when I leave.
4. The mother has a litter box(cleaned every day), fresh water, and dry food bowl. She also gets wet food in a bowl twice a day(bowl is removed after each feeding to prevent ants or bugs from coming out of the woodwork).
5. I check the kittens(& mom) every so often, not only to take pictures, but to make sure they're still breathing. I admit I'm overly paranoid here, so I make sure I don't lose one on my watch!
Any suggestions on how to make this bathroom as safe as possible would be very much appreciated(no matter how minute a suggestion). Thanks again!
