Is it possible to choose where a new kitten will sleep.. should they be aloud to choose themselves?

Question

We recently bought a kitten and it seems to want to sleep on the steps next to our ground floor. Everytime we move him to his blanket where his food bowls are he goes back to that same position on the step. What is the best thing to do in a situation like this?

The funny thing is his blanket is like a step down and 1 metre to the right from the step he is sleeping on.

Answer 1

Sure why not. My cat likes to sleep on my bread box, or on the tile floor in front of the fireplace, towards the left, same spot everytime! If it makes him happy, let him be!

Answer 2

I have two male cats. One sleeps on top of the fridge, the other sleeps in a fruit basket too small for his body. I bought a very expensive pet home and they were excited about it for 2 days, now it just sits there in the living room.

Cats are very independent and they like doing things their way. You could, possibly, try to make an area more comfortable (like let it stay smelly ;) for your cat and see if he/she will take to it, but you can't really force it.

Answer 3

The kitten will get up during the night and move to where its comfortable. Just keep a sharp eye out for it so it don't get stepped on.

Answer 4

Unless you are willing to close your kitten in a confined room for the night, like the laundry room or a bathroom, there's really no way to keep your cat in one spot. Cats need access to their food and water and litter all night because they are noctural.

Answer 5

It is possible, but hard. You should let a kitten choose where to sleep, it will save you time.

Answer 6

Yes they should be "allowed" to sleep where they want to...
Cats like to choose different spots to sleep...

Answer 7

Yes! you want to make your pet as comfortable as you can.That way they won't fear you.
