009. Den and Living Space
Toddlers should be encouraged to play and extend themselves, but they
must be contained in a safe, small room. Do not give small kittens the
run of your home or apartment, particularly if they are in the process
of being socialized! Start newborns with the denning box, then at
about three weeks allow them out of the box to explore a small,
kitten-proofed room that is warm and secure. A spare bedroom is a good
living space, a bathroom is fine, as long as the lid is left down on
the toilet and floor isn't too cold (newspaper is a good insulator if
that is the case). Provide a den (the carrier or nesting box) as safe
haven and sleeping place.
