Caramella at adoption day *Video #15* & 29*

Is there a way to make one room into the "cat room"? Easier to kitten-proof just a small area....
My cat room is still in use on a rather frequent basis even though my kids are well beyond the kitten age. It's just a safe place for them....

When mine were babies, I fixed them a box to sleep in and shut them in the bathroom while I was at work. Now, I put them in the kitchen when I have to go somewhere. I put a plastic thing over the refrigetator cord so they can't chew threw it. They have the run of about a 2 room area because the kitchen used to be two rooms.

I guess I'd say kitten proof one or two rooms for her. I've not been gone for long periods though since I have been disabled for 15 years. Give her tons and tons of toys and things to keep her busy.

My brother does the same thing. He has nine cats now. Just found two new widdle ones. He fixes a place for them in his home office until they are old enough to meet the rest of his gang. Hope this helps some.

Laura, maybe by the time you go back to work Caramella will be old enough to not destroy things...assuming she matures as she ages! LOL

Could Rie keep her while you are away?

OMG I'm literally LOL! Tap dancers! Caramella is just so puzzled and funny. Kitten play is so beautiful.
Wish I knew what to say about your leaving so long. I'd be a nervous wreck the whole time but if you can kittenproof a small area until the sitter can visit that might work. When they are young they kind of like small spaces. They grow so fast! She might be "up to speed" by the time you have to go again. Don't know the right answer.

I would also try to kitten proof either a room or a certain area in your home where Caramella would be staying while you were gone. As you know I still have 2 little ones who just turned 6 months old on Sat. I've been letting them have the run of my condo for quite some time now but they aren't allowed in either bedroom. I've also had to hide toilet paper,napkins,kleenex, and I've even had to put the trash can in the second bedroom for now. When I leave for work Storm, Pearl, and Sky will usually stay in my bedroom and Ziggy will stay out in the main area with Alani and Blaze. It's worked out very well so far. I've always kept plastic bags, twist ties, rubber bands etc. hidden away and I just try to act like I'm living with toddlers so I just try to baby proof my home. I'm sure that everything will work out. Good luck.

I also say "Aye"! I'd love to see you and Caramella stay together. I'm sure that if she could talk she'd say that she wants to stay too.

Jaz, Jax and Caramella are having a blast together. I put the basket of toys in the kitchen with them and they didn't know what to do with them so I started pulling them out of the basket last night and Caramella showed them what to do with them so now they know the joys of toys! Those little buggers have figured out how to get over the gate I have put up to keep them in the kitchen already so I have introduced them to the squirt bottle. I hate that they know how to get over that gate because that means they'll have to be caged when I am not here.

Caramella got into a wrestling match with Jazz last night and they rolled and tumbled and played under the watchful eyes of Jax, ready to come to the rescue of his sister if Caramella hurt her, she is really enjoying having play mates in the house.

Last night they were playing and having a good ole time so I got the camera and started videoing them, the battery light was flashing to warn me the battery was fixing to die but I kept on and could not believe what I got on video... It died right where the video stopped but at least I got it! This needs no explanation so just watch!

Caramella has never figured out how to get up on those perches where Boo is, That was Jaz's first try in less than 2 days here and he figured it out right away so I see they are going to be teaching each other things. They saw Caramealla getting over the gate so that is how they learned to do that..

My RB Maggie was like that when I got Spunky. She was 14 and too old to deal with a youngster.
