I think I am pretty set as far as kitten proofing since my house is still toddler proof from my youngest.
However, we do have a mess of cords under our computer desk and there is no door to that room. Any suggestions? There seem to be too many to try and gather them and stuff them into some kind of cord organizer, so should I spray them with bitter apple or what?
All my cleaners, etc. are in cupboards with kid latches on them. The outlets have those plug things in them. How about kids toys? My kids don't have anything really with tiny pieces ( I hate picking that stuff up so we don't have much of that stuff). I do plan on going through the toy room and replacing the current toy organizer since it is rather destroyed.
Also, I only have 3 plants: johnny jump ups, orange mint and greek oregano. I have checked several sites and haven't found it on the do not eat list.
Btw, I am going to a cat rescue about an hour a way. I was very impressed with their facility and the socialization of their cats. We are planning on an older kitten, unless an older cat really takes our fancy. We are looking for a playful kitten, but preferably one that isn't going to be hanging from the chandeliers.
They actually had a Maine Coone cat there, but the woman said that he isn't that patient with kids and probably wouldn't be the best choice. (that really was the thing that made me decide that is where I wanted my cat from - they really cared about getting a good match!) My hubby is going and he said there are certain colors he doesn't want.
I am hoping we can decide on one without killing each other!
(hubby said absolutely not to 2 kitties so we are only getting one, unless of course, we each fall in love with a different one, right?
)
I was not looking for a tiny kitten, but there was a little orange on there that kept following me around. Every time I sat down to play with the other cats, here he would come toddling. I think I would have a few more weeks to wait for him though since they don't adopt out before 8 weeks, preferably 10 weeks.
Okay, now that I have written a small book, any suggestions would be most appreciated. We want the best fit for our family and we want a safe environment for the little tyke.
