Three weeks ago, my husband brought home a pair a kittens from the animal shelter. At first we locked them in a room to keep them safe, especially from the banisters from which they could fall a long distance. We visited their room frequently. The male, at first, hid under a desk and would not come out to be petted, but the female was very affectionate.
Now they are out all the time. The male has become very social. But at night I have to close my bedroom door because otherwise the male will spend half the night walking all over me. He will put is nose up to my nose to wake me up, so that I pet him.
I feel guilty for closing them off like this, but they are so social and want so much affection, that it's impossible to read or be on the computer or nap or sleep. I had never had pets before. Is it okay to close them out like this. They seem okay with one another. They don't cry. And they will actually sleep in my husband's bed and stay still through the night. Just me, for some reason, they want to wake up.
