Chapter 1: The Base Camp
Welcome home! ๐
Since you are in a House Share, your bedroom is now "Base Camp."
โ ๏ธ The First 2 Weeks Rule:
Keep the kitten in your bedroom. 100% of the time.
Why?
- The house is too big (scary!).
- They will lose the litter tray (messy!).
- Housemates opening the front door (dangerous!).
Chapter 2: The Poop Situation
I know you have a shared bathroom, but...
๐ซ DO NOT put the tray in the bathroom yet.
At 8 weeks, if they need to go, they need to go NOW. They cannot run down the hallway.
Bedroom Setup:
- Tray: Furthest corner from bed.
- Food: Opposite corner from tray.
- Type: Wood pellets (non-clumping).

Chapter 3: The Humans
Your housemates are friends, but to a kitten, they are giants.
The Protocol:
- Door Sign: Put a sticky note on your door: "Kitten Inside! Watch your feet!"
- Meeting: Invite housemates into YOUR room, one at a time. Have them sit on the floor.
- The Kitchen: This is a "No Paws" zone. Hygiene keeps housemates happy!

Chapter 5: Sleep (Or lack thereof)
The Zoomies (10 PM - 12 AM)
She will go crazy. She will bite your toes. This is normal.
How to survive in 1 room:
- Play Hard: At 9 PM, play until she is panting.
- Feast: Feed her a big wet meal immediately after play.
- Ignore: If she cries at night, do not speak to her. Silence is golden.
