We have just stayed with friends who after a long spell decided they really missed Syd their long departed cat of 17 years. So Duffy arrived at 12 weeks old. She has a scratch post to keep her claws in check, a rather posh litter box (which is a must for a house cat) a bed she ignores and a box of toys (which she sleeps in). Eventually our friends will allow her the run of the house, but while they are at work she has the living room, hall and conservatory. So far she had broke a flower pot and caused trouble with the hall rug, by re-arranging it under the front door which prevented it from opening. Her little face was full of worry when she saw her owners trying to force their way in. Besides this because she has pleanty to occupy her she is a happy kitten.
One thing to prehaps deter is allowing a cat to walk on kitchen work surfaces or sleeping on the beds. Some people, house guests, may not appriacate being pushed out of bed during the night or seeing paw prints in the butter (stay with my mother if you don't believe me).
