Reorganizing the kitten room: If you clean it, they will come, right?


I gave you a tour of the kitten room a while ago, but it was time to reorganize. When I first bought the cabinet in the kitten room I thought the best place for it was in front of one of the windows, but over time it just became more and more annoying. Since it has now been almost 50 days without kittens, I thought it might be a good time to rearrange the whole room.


I have been thinking about rearranging the kitten room for some time now. I thought I would share with you how it looks now and Skippy so kindly decided to help. *rolls eyes* I also purchased a new couch for the room. I am not a huge fan, but it was cheap and kittens can not get under it, which is a huge plus in my book... so I bought it. It is black pleather.. I'm sure I'll have it uncovered a lot as the fitted sheets really don't do that great of a job covering it, but it is staying on at the moment, so there is that.  This first photo above is a view from the door.


This is the view from the window by the door. The big empty space on the left is where the tv is going to go. Once that is up I might move the litter box box to be right underneath it. I didn't want to move it until the tv went up because it would make it hard to put the tv up and I don't know if the kittens can use it to get to the tv and be annoying. We'll see.


This is the view from directly behind Raffe. You can see where the meshare camera is. The dropcam is currently on top of the cabinet, and I do not know where it is going to end up. I've considered mounting it to the wall, but I like having it movable for when I have neonatal kittens that don't go anywhere so you can see them close up.


This is the view from where Happy Bear was seated. Skippy wonders if that blue toy bin storage thing can survive rambunctious kittens. We'll see. As you can see we totally need to move the hook that the broom


The view from the window over the litter box box.


Towels, feeding cloths, soft bedding and toys in the hanging shelves. Kitten room hardware (box cutter, duct tape, dustpan), syringes, medical supplies, wipes, misc, and plastic shopping bags and trash bags in the drawers. The blanket and more fitted sheets for covering the couch on the large side of the cabinet. Cat food, dishes, scale and cleaning supplies, and towels in the smaller side. I'm hoping to leave the bottom shelf empty because kittens ALWAYS get in there when I'm dishing out food.

I have a small chest of drawers just outside the room and that is where I've put the kitten clothing and the props for taking photos. There is still the plastic on one of the windows because the hardware the CatMan needs for mounting the TV is on the sill. The laundry basket will go where the TiVo currently sits. I'm not sure if the Moses basket is going to stay on the wall, but currently, I like it.

So, Universe, I'm ready!

  2. I am so jealous of your kitten room. Most especially your cupboard. Your glorious, organized cupboard! Heh ... the couch in my living room was partly chosen because cats can't get under it. I have to take extra measures for kittens, though.
