Hello. I am caring for my cat and her litter of 5 three week old kittens. She had them in a closet three weeks ago but moved them to the corner of my bedroom behind a chair. They were on my bedroom carpet but I have put down layers of fleece for bedding. They have just become quite active and are now leaving the corner. I have not put out a litter box for them yet. My problem is I don’t want them ruining my carpet. I’m fine with them in my bedroom and mother cat seems happy with that. My master bath is attached to my bedroom and mother cats litter box is in there for now. Any advice for how to contain them in that corner on the fleece to protect the rest of my carpet? I have a metal octagonal pen that is quite spacious with a door so Mom could get in and out. The kittens are too small at least for now to get over the doorway (several inches high). I could put a small litter box in there and set if all up behind the chair. It’s pretty spacious. Any other ideas? Also is now a good time to introduce litter box and some soft kitten food? Also are they ready for first vet visit? Mom is healthy and up to date on vaccines and had prenatal checkup. They are quite active. Thanks so much for help. Just FYI... Mom (Pippie) will be spayed as soon as kitties are weaned and I have homes for all kittens. Thanks for any advice!
