Many people are hold strong views on this subject.They do not want the kitten to sleep in any other place but in its own bed-maybe a basket that has been especially bought for it.They do not want kitty making its way into bedrooms or sleeping on armchairs or sofas.There are several cat owners who allow the cat to choose where it wants to sleep.Please note there are no wrongs or rights, the only thing that truly matters is what works for you and your family.Prior to introducing your kitten its new environment try to ensure that all the decisons and preparations have been made.

Upon deciding that you want the kitten to sleep in its own basket you now need to give adequate thought to whether it will sleep in the kitchen, in your bedroom or rather another part of the house.You are welcoming it into your home a kitten who has just been taken from its mother.Your cat will probably be more than happy to fussed over when people are there, but once everone leaves and departs to bed your cat may well feel lonely and frightened.If possible use the blanket that his mother had been using to sleep on as it will still hold her scent and will provide a great deal of comfort and security.
