She's got the litter thing sussed. Digs it a bit, wees, then sits down for a snooze.
Cats, and kittens, generally pick up the idea of litter pretty fast. They don't normally sleep in it however.
Go figure!
She doesn't like open spaces: the first couple of times I put her on my lap this morning, she looked around and climbed straight back into the bath.
I think that's fairly normal instinct for any small, young animal. Basically she's trying to hide away from predators. I guess the only way she'll be less inclined to feel that she needs to do it, is once she gets more used to the environment, and realises that she's not being threatened. Giving her something to hide in / under / behind is probably the best you can do.
I'm assuming that the vet has said that she is a she?
Yeah, edited my previous post to include that.
... and I edited my post when I realised that you'd said it, but you read too fast.
I'm surprised she's that young, but obviously a robust little individual, since she's also clearly doing pretty well.
I shall show Mr R this thread tonight. I'm trying to twist his arm into getting a cat. He wants some horrible neurotic/psychotic pure bred (like a Burmese). I want a rescue cat.
My sister has a couple of pedigree cats, which I'll accept are very cute and attractive cats. The trouble is, they look so attractive, and probably expensive, that she's afraid that they'll be stolen, so she never lets them out, unattended. They're basically indoors only cats.
With so many cats and kittens freely available, I can't see why it's necessary, or even desirable, to spend a fair whack of cash on a pure breed. I also think a random moggy is more like to be healthy, with good hybrid vigour, rather than the not trivial risk of inbred reinforced genes in a cat which has possibly got only a minimal number of ancestors.
