Ugh, I just want to vent.
So Callie had her kittens a while back, and they'll be a month old tomorrow. We've been keeping them in the really big dog kennel with the top taken off for a while now, but lately they want even more room to move, and they get so noisy and make such a mess in there now that we have food, water, and a little litter box. I got them out earlier and let them run around my room, and put them back after a while. They still wanted out and were meowing and jumping everywhere, so my mom told me to put the gate up in the hall and put the kennel back there so they could have room to run around.
But no, my step dad is all like, "They're going to climb over the gate, blah blah blah, if this isn't going to work, they're going back in your room whether you like it or not, you should sit out here tonight and keep an eye on them because you don't have to get up in the morning." Sorry but, umm.. no?
I love them to death, but now that they're getting big, they want to go everywhere, and get so noisy, and I really don't want them running all over my room and getting into things. Apparently no one else wants to put them in their room, and it's so frustrating when I'm in here at night and they're constantly scratching at the box and meowing and making a big mess.. and I don't know where else I could put them to give them more room.
If anyone has any suggestions, that might be nice.
