I have a four month old kitten and I have some concerns. Her name is Lexie and I have never had a cat before.
My first concern is when I'm leaving for work in the morning she knows exactly when I'm leaving and sometimes gets out of the apartment before I can catch her and I'm not sure what to do to keep her inside.
Next, I need some help and advice on toys. She seems to get bored with them very easily. I have purchased balls. Balls with fur on them, cat nip inside, bells inside. A stuffed animal with catnip inside. I don't know what to get her next. She also has a tendency to climb all over my furniture onto my end tables onto my computer desk. She likes playing with my spider plant as well.
Now, with my Christmas Tree up I have everything up a little ways but, I'm afraid she is going to pull the tree over. The stand is sturdy though, do I have to worry?
I guess I just need help all around. I want her to be a happy kitty but I'm lost as far as training her. Can someone please help me?
I also was wondering about the catnip that you can purchase in stores. How do you make something that they can play with it. Do you place it inside a sock or something?
