Thread: First night with new kitten . . . What did you do?

first night with my Charlotte, RIP, she slept with me, under my tee-shirt. (I'm an extremely light sleeper so I knew there was no way I could hurt her)
-> we went on to have the most fantastic bond ever.
first night with Neevie, she slept out of the bedroom because HO wanted her to get used to it from the start -> now she's rather independant (for a house cat) and quite honestly we have a less strong bond.
I don't know if it's related. It may absolutely not be. Next cat, though, I know where she's sleeping that first night.

My cats have quite delicate dispositions and get anxious easily, so I couldn't bear letting them spend the first night by themselves. Everything had changed for them, and after leaving their families I didn't want them to feel completely alone. Even having access to our bedroom and bathroom where the litter box was, though, my little boy got scared and spent the first night crying by the window (talk about melodramatic!). They get over it.

I shut mine in the kitchen for the first few nights, partly so she could get use to a new place, plus she knew where her food and water was and more importantly her littler tray.

When I was at home would leave the door open, and she would soon start to explore
