Hello everyone,
I would like to ask some advice please. I have two 8month old outdoor kittens that could actually be perfect. They come and go as they please, rarely use their litter tray (they prefer doing their business outside), eat and drink normally and have a great bro/sis relationship. I honestly feel blessed to have such good luck as to get such easy to care for, loving little siblings. The problem is, I am due to have a chimney breast removed from an upstairs bedroom (next door to my bedroom where me and the kitties sleep every night), and I'm worried about the affect all the noise/mess/dust/workmen will have on my kittens. I don't want them getting scared and running off and too scared to return home. I'm considering getting them some Feliway and locking them plus the Feliway in the conservatory while the work is being done but that seems a bit mean, to suddenly lock them in what would be a cold single room, all day when they are used to having the freedom of the house to sleep in warm places. Hopefully the work will be done during the Xmas holidays (I work in a school), so I can spend the day in the conservatory with them for reassurance from the loud noises and drilling, but I fear that won't be enough reassurance. I also fear the work will have to be done during term time when I have to be at work/college. Does anyone know how to make this experience as fearless as possible for my kittens please?
