Just put her in a bedroom and "kitten-proof" it. (put away all loose objects you don't want her to play with, anchor down book shelves, tie up curtains, and tape down or at least unplug electric cords). Leave a few toys she can play with by herself, such as rolled up pieces of paper or a a small ball or a spring toy and she'll be set. NO STRING!!!!! (or yarn or ribbon). Most likely she'll go to sleep. Leave fresh water, food, and a clean, accessible litter-box. Also, if it's very hot outside, I like to leave the air conditioning on low, so they don't overheat, but cats do have a higher body temperature so I'm not sure if that's necessary. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/leaving-11-week-old-seve-all-day#post-668293 Wed, 17 Aug 2011 21:16:00 +0000 kute1livn4jc 668293@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I have to leave my kitten alone when I go out for errands or volunteer. She does fine as long as I play with her and let her out when I get home. I keep her in the bathroom with food, water, and etc. I put away anything that she will get into and also put some double stick tape on the floor where I don't want her to walk. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/leaving-11-week-old-seve-all-day#post-668276 Wed, 17 Aug 2011 19:38:56 +0000 Kiplings_cat 668276@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Well, we got Catkin at 10wks and we both work...so he was left home all day. Partly because we have other cats, we kept him in the bedroom while we were gone.</p> <p>If you can tire him out before you leave, with a wand/fishing-pole toy or a laser pointer, he will take a nap. I would leave him in a kitten-proofed room like the bedroom to help keep him out of trouble, with some toys to keep him busy and an unwashed shirt (your scent will help reassure him.) </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/leaving-11-week-old-seve-all-day#post-668187 Wed, 17 Aug 2011 11:59:36 +0000 Jenowl 668187@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Our 11-week-old black &amp; white kitten, Seve (pronounced Sevvy!) is settling in really well. He's been with us for 3 weeks. He's lively, playful and very sociable. So far, the longest he's been left alone is about 3 hours. </p> <p>This weekend we might have to leave him alone for up to 6 hours and I'm worried he'll get scared, lonely or get into trouble if left alone for so long (he's into everything - exploring, jumping, attacking everything around the apartment). </p> <p>Will he be OK or should we make other arrangements to avoid leaving him for so long at this stage? </p>
