New kitty advice

[Dznypal]

We just adopted a 2 month kitten from a rescue yesterday
She was just spayed bingo the morning but her and about 10 other kittens were available for adoption late afternoon.
Yesterday she was a real spitfire. Just into everything as all new kittens do.
They told us to watch her for different issues.
One was being tired. Which she is today. When I took her out of her room this morning she still was a spitfire but now it’s late afternoon and she’s been sleeping most of her.
We’ll call the vet in the morning but just maybe I’m looking tomput my mind at ease.
She’s been eating good and using the box with no issues
Thanks

Kittens sleep a LOT.

I sort figured that but since she was a spitfire yesterday I was a bit concerned. She must have slept good last night though cause I didn’t hear her at all

We brought two feral kittens in at about 2 months old. They'd be up and running for about an hour, maybe two, and then sleep for 4-6 hours. They're almost 7 months now, and still get nice, long naps in. Especially when they're having growth spurts. That takes a lot of sleep!

Thanks for the replies. It’s been ao g time since we’ve a kitten this young.
That does make me feel better. Besides she’s been playing hard now for a few hrs

One other question when can you usually give a new kitten the run of the house. When we have to go away we have the spare ready I’m set up for her.
Thanks again

Oh, she already has the run of the house - you just don't know it yet. Don't worry, she'll get you trained in no time.

Lol. Good advice. Thanks I needed that

I have a 7 months old kitten and she stays in my room when I’m not home. I’m not sure when or if I will let her roam the house when I’m not home to supervise. Plus I have a camera set up in my room to check in on her it alerts to movement and sound via a phone app so I can see what trouble she is getting into. Honestly she sleep in the window most of the day.

don't you hoooo-mans know what hard work goes into your proper training and care? just protecting you from the dangers of shoe strings, tissue boxes and a myriad of random household items is enough to exhaust any kitten

Hi Dznypal,
First off to say to you congratulations on your new kitty. What you need to know and understand is that when a new kitty arrives at your house she might cry and get tired easily because she misses her littermates and you may need to have her sleep with you so you can have a bond the first few days. But it's not something you need the vet to talk to and ask advice. As your kitty grows you might want to get her a pet bed but if you can't find a pet bed a jumbo sized pillow also works as a pet bed which is what my mom got for my grandmother's cat and it worked well. You can also buy your kitty pet toys or buy her some stuffed animals or if you have any old stuffed animals they are excellent sleeping companions for your kitty to calm her
Give your kitty lots of love and she will love you so much
