Willl my kitten try to bolt out the room?

Question

We got a kitten about 3 weeks ago.she is 3 months old.however we have to keep her in my room because my mother is scared of animals.my mom is scared of almost every animal,she's even scared of my turtle.She agreed to let me have it as long as I keep it in my room.She said I can bring the kitten out at night to play in the living room and kitchen if i want too.

The reason I aint do that yet is because I dont want her to try to run out the room everytime she see me leave.right now if i leave the room and come back within 5 mins she would be waiting for me right by the door.She never tried to run out the room though.

Would it be ok for me to take her in the living room to play at night or am I better off just keeping her in the room?my mom usually go to sleep around 9 or 10pm

Also if I do this,will my kitten try to run out the door everytime i open it.right now when i come in and out she never tries to run out

Is there way I can train so she wont run out when she not suppose 2

Answer 1

I have a similar situation.  I took my kitten out to play in the living room sometimes.  She now does try to bolt out the door.  She didn't at first, it is very frustrating because i have to be really careful when i go in my room.  she is almost 5 months old now.  it was about a month before she started trying to bolt.  I'm thinking of getting some kind of gate to keep her away from my door so I can go in my room without her running out.  I think you should take her out.  it will get very boring for your kitten to be in the same room all day.

Yes, she will learn to bolt for the door, and you will learn to carefully slip through without letting her out.  I have to do this every day when I get home from work and and open my front door.  At least yours is in no risk of being hit by a car for escaping to the living room.

She's getting older and bigger and will need more room to play and explore.  Tell her "No" if she tries to squeeze out.  And praise her, pet her, even treat her if she doesn't try to bolt and also when you take her back into your room so still enjoys being there and understands it's home, not a punishment.  Make sure you spend lots of time with her, especially if no one else goes into you bedroom to keep her company and play.
