New family member an F4 boy

[admin]

I know a lot will disagree and many will be righteous in their responses, but I have always used my bedroom as the quarantine room, it has served me well and they end up sleeping next to their human soon enough. I know how much hell it is before they get used to your sleep cycle but I’m not convinced there is any method that creates the bond that sharing a living space does. Add an air purifier and the litter smell is nonexistent.

Your bedroom is the perfect quarantine room. Not sure why you think people would disagree.

I disagree, I believe sleeping with them in their quarantine room serves all better.

I disagree with the expectation of getting righteous responses. I've never gotten anything but kindness and support on this forum.

I'm not sure who would argue against using your bedroom for a quarantine room, personally I think that is the ideal place for a new kitten/cat. The only issue that arises (that I am aware of) is when there are already resident cats who are used to sleeping in the bedroom, then they feel displaced and this can cause jealousy and contention toward the newest family member. One then needs to spend dedicated time with the other cat(s) to make sure they still know they are loved and special to their humans.

I just understand not sleeping in the same room if you have a mean work schedule and the lil one is making the bedroom impossible to sleep in is the only thought I should have make that part clear

That's incredibly astute Patti. So many things we figure out on the fly, and when our youngest came on board we switched off evenings sleeping in his quarantine room. His brother (different litter) was very much needing lots of extra attention and would have some very wordy conversations about it. So much of it all was dictated by the cats, we just needed to be smart enough to listen to what they had to tell us. It all worked out great, the brothers are the best of friends and never any animosity over who the servants were tending to.
