Sleeping
Does my kitten need to sleep at a certain temperature?
Young, tiny kittens need warm areas in which to sleep. Leave loose blankets for them to climb under, warm bedding materials, and set your thermostat higher if the kitten is under 12 weeks old.
What areas in my house are the best for my kittens to sleep?
Kittens sleep or rest about 60% of their day. They will do this almost anywhere, depending on their personalities.
Does my kitten need her own bed?
Kitten beds are usually enclosed so that kittens feel more secure and hidden. Your kitten may like his own bed on the floor or prefer the height of a shelf, a kitten condo or a chair. Other kittens will sleep hidden underneath furniture.
- Sunny Seat Window Mounted Cat Bed, Midwest Homes for Pets, Curious Cat Cube, Armarkat cat bed, Pet Ottoman
- These are just some of the kitten beds available.
Can my kitten sleep in bed with me?
Of course! This is where most kittens want to be. If you object to this, you will need to provide an alternative place from day one, or your kitten may be difficult to keep off your head while you are trying to sleep!
Can I close my kitten out of my bedroom?
You can, but please make sure that water and litter boxes are available to your kitten no matter whether you choose to lock him in or out of your room.
