Hi all!
My boyfriend and I are adopting two male kittens in about 10 days, they'll be just over 8 weeks then. Just looking for any tips on helping them feel at home and also training them.
They are coming from a family home with other cats, including other kittens, and seem to be weaning and learning well from their mum. They were accidental kittens not bred, but their owner clearly loves cats and they seem very happy kitties. They've already been flea'd and wormed so should be very healthy.
I've done a some research and have two beds and will have two litter trays. It's quite a small kitchen so I think I'll put one in our bathroom? We're in a maisonette so all one floor. But I'm a bit worried about our stairs. When you come in our front door you go straight up stairs to our flat, I'm worried about them shooting out the door when I come in so was thinking of keeping the door to our living room and kitchen shut to begin with, so they'd only be able to get to the litter tray in the kitchen? Any advice?
We would both like them to be well trained and learn tricks, so obviously want to start as early as possible. I will be home with them most of the time to start with so I will be able to give them lots of time and attention.
Basically any advice or info much appreciated!
