1 Should I confine my 7 week old kitten when no one is home? A seven week old kitten could get into a great deal of mischief or even into something dangerous when left home alone. I would find a kitten proof room to keep your kitten in when you are not there. This room should have her food, water, litter box and toys. It also should have a comfortable place for her to rest. As she gets older and more reliable, she can begin to have more access to the house when you are not home.

2 What supplies do I need for a kitten? It is best to be prepared when you bring a new kitten into the household. Find a quiet, safe and secure area where the kitten can spend her time when not supervised. In this area should be a bed, food bowl, water bowl and a "kitten" sized litter box. You also will need a pet carrier so that she can be safely brought home in the car. A few toys will also be needed to channel that kitten energy in the correct direction. Finally, don't forget to have ready a complete and balanced diet such as Purina ONE Growth and Development formula.
