Training my kitten

[lillylau]

Hi I have 4 cats and they choose were they sleep the only place they dont go is the kitchen benches and that is because with a lot of time spent lifting them down when they get up they kind of learnt that they will only get put back on the floor hope this might help but like they other people say cats have there own mind and really please themselves.

Welcome to the forum, i can't wait to see pics of your new Kitten.
I agree with what everyone else says, Cats choose where they will sleep, with mine i find they will sleep in one place for a few weeks and then move on to another place.
Get her a comfy basket etc and she may decide to use it but i definately think she will want to sleep on the furniture too Throws are a good idea.

Shelley, mine have always done that too; sleep in one spot for a while then change. I have always assumed it was a holdover from their wild ancestors: sleep in one place too long and your scent will lure a predator.

Merlin often changed his sleeping spots - Kizzy and Pip rarely do though. Always on the bed with OH and I - I love having them on the bed, makes me feel safe and secure somehow. OH, being a tall chap sometimes finds they get in the way of a good night's sleep, but he still won't move them! Big softie! (Best sort really!)

I was referring to daytime sleeping spots; always the bed with me at night. Your OH does sound line a good 'un
