there are cats in my house!

[owlmoose]

That is all.

Okay, maybe not quite all. Both cats seem to be using the box now, but we're going to shut them up one more night just to make sure. They are getting bolder, both of them venturing upstairs on multiple occasions and almost looking comfortable in the kitchen and living room. They're also chatting more, both of them with squeaky kitten "mews" and that soft burring noise. I love the burring noise. Girl kitty watched with great interest as I did my shoulder exercises -- the Theraband caught her attention.

I'm auditioning some names; if they stick, I'll unveil them soon.

Thus ends today's cat report.

Ooh, I want to hear the names! The kittens are very cute. You've only cemented my ambition to get one when I'm living on my own :)

I think these names are working so maybe tonight. :) Yes, cats are very worth having!

I am relieved to hear this. I was about to suggest separate, but equal, pans if the problem continued.

I would like to point out that it is a well-documented fact that a cat sitting on the foot of the bed, staring silently at a sleeping human, is twelve times more effective than an alarm clock at levering said human out of bed. Just bear that in mind when you free the munchkins. ;-)

Yeah, I was going to suggest, that if you don't want them to be playing on the bed in the middle of the night, that you keep them locked up at night.
I know many kitties who endure this and adapt just fine.

We have a gate for the top of the stairs. I want to try that and see how it goes. Eventually they will just be able to jump over it, but it might hold them for a couple of months.

Believe me, I remember. :) Nadia was quite the feline alarm clock.

Re: litter. I don't know how much space you have, but when Clive was a kitten, I had to have two litter boxes, because he couldn't always make it to the one in the bathroom on time. (My apartment was small, but so was he.) When I introduced a second one in the LR (I know, I wasn't thrilled, but it was better than him peeing on my beanbag chair), he didn't have any more accidents. I phased it out when he got a bit bigger.
