You may have to work out a compromise with your partner about the bed. You'll probably just have to keep the door closed. I don't know what you're going to do about the couch, but you should be able to shut the door to the bathroom and not have the kitten in there while you bathe. I am a serious cat lover, but not everyone is and that's all right. You should have some say in where the cat goes. You should also realize that your partner has some say in it too and the cat can't be locked in a cage all day. It's going to be around the house. The two of you need to work out an acceptable compromise.

There is nothing wrong with letting her sleep in your bed or jump on the couch. I would keep her off the table and counter tops though. Kittens need lots of love and attention so they will grow up to be well adjusted cats. So stop being selfish and learn to love her. After all, it is your kitten, right? She should be getting her love from you, too.

I let my cat in the bed, but he's not allowed on the couch/worktops etc. Its not being selfish if you dont want the kitten jumping everywhere, when it jumps up, put it down and it will soon learn its not allowed. Alternatively, use a pet repellant furniture spray to stop it jumping up.

Yes this is fine, and even if you try to stop this from happening you will not succeed as a cat does what a cat wants to do.
All my cats sleep in my bed, jump all over the couch and get in the bath tub. There is nothing I can do to stop them, so I let them be and we are all very happy.
I have 3 cats so they rule the roost here.
Good Luck.

You are jealous because you sleep in the same bed as your partner and jumps in the bath with your partner. Yes your partner should allow it, stop being selfish. I wouldn't like to know what you will be like when you have kids - and the partner pays attentiion to the child - will you be jealous then?

If you are not comfortable with your kitten jumping on the couch or bath, it is quite easy to stop them, just keep shouting NO in a loud voice every time they try it, they will soon get the message.

your being over controlling of your cat, remember its now your kittens house too but the only exceptions are no kitty on the counter and if ur kitty starts peeing on stuff dont allow them on that spot untill seen by a vet.

You could suggest to the kitten that it may wish to do things differently but remember You never own a cat .. it just lets you share it's space and feed it for the privilege.!!!!

That is completely a personal preference. Just remember, cats are very VERY difficult to train, so whatever you let her do now she will do for the rest of her life. It will be easier to deter her from this behavior while she is a kitten. Good luck!

If your not happy with it then stop it now!! It gets a lot harder to stop these things as they get older. Ive trained my kitten to come home to the sound of my keys jingling and to give me his paw for a stroke on the head. But bad behaviour takes a long time to stop if you dont catch it quick.
