Does anyone know how to kitten-proof a house?

I'm not saying they're causing any trouble, but the couch is on fire and the fridge is missing.

@dracnoc Yes. But we had only one to raise. Make sure you have a planthose nearby. Everytime they do something you donโ€™t want, spray them. And yell and / or clap your hands.
Make a good spot were they are allowed to scratch their nails, we used an old piece of tapistry and nail it to a doorhold and a piece if board and put the board against a table leg.

Make compliments when they do well and let them see how to use things, by doing it yourself. Like scratching the tapistry.

@dracnoc Our leather couch (in the family since the sixties) hasnโ€™t a single scratch. Nor is the tapistry on the floor damaged. Our Jippie doesnโ€™t walk on the table nor on the kitchencounter.

You have to be patient and donโ€™t get mad or agressive to the cat(s). It is not a dog. Telling them they are doing good is better then punishment.

Good luck! Pictures of your kitties are welcome! ๐Ÿ˜ป๐Ÿ˜ป#cats #catsofmastodon #caturday

Hey, that looks great ๐Ÿ˜˜

We have two brothers, so they spend most of their time fighting each other. Rather cute and they've discovered cuddles.

The other *tiny* little problem is that they're 50% Maine Coon, so they're growing quickly (which explains the fridge going AWOL).

We do have an older cat, and they're getting on just fine. A little awkward at first but they've settled in.

I'll put up pictures when they stop bouncing around ๐Ÿ˜‚

@dracnoc Oh that sounds great!! ๐Ÿ˜ป๐Ÿ˜ป๐Ÿ˜ปFor them ๐Ÿ˜‰ Make sure they have enough to play with, besides themselves, thatโ€™ll help too.
