I'm hoping someone can explain to me about 'safe spaces' for a new kitten.
Next week I will bring home an 18 wk old Snow Seal lynx Point female. She has been reared in the house of the breeder and is apparently used to litterbox and scratching post etc, as well as being around humans and being handled.
That said, after reading in this and other forums, is it a good idea to put her in a small room alone for the first day or two? My flat is pretty small anyway (and I live alone), bathroom (6 m2) lounge/diner/kitchen (32 m2) and bedroom (12 m2). The easiest would be the bathroom...but is it a bit small? I am catproofing the flat as much as possible, tying up hanging curtain cords, hiding and taping up cables, removing small ornaments from shelves she could reach...etc..., although I have no doubt she will find something to knaw on...hahaha...
I have put the litter tray in the bathroom anyway, and have loads of toys, scratching posts, blankets, beds etc around the house for her.
Any advice would be welcome......
This is like waiting for the birth of a child.....
