I recently caught a feral kitten, roughly 3 months old. I've been working at taming her, initially by feeding her outside and petting her when she ate, and then by keeping her in a large cage inside, taking her out to pet and play, feeding her, and slowly introducing her to the smaller rooms in my apartment.
Problem is, I need to go out of town for a three night period, so I'm concerned with how my absence will affect the taming process and what I can do to temper that by keeping her occupied. I figure I can ask a neighbor to check on her food and water, but beyond that, the neighbor might freak her out. I'm loathe to leave her in the cage should she react poorly to using the litter box. But I'm loathe to let her wander around the apartment as well, as that will freak her out. I could limit her to the one room she's familiar with, leaving the cage open, and making a make-shift wall, but who knows.
Any thoughts much appreciated
