be sure not to leave them around electric cords they might chew on them and get shocked bathroom is a good idea

---

yes they will be okay just make sure they have every thing they need and make sure they have water there mother and every thing else. good luck

---

lock them in the bathroom or something with a litter box

---

Definitely not. They should be in a "kitten safe" room in your house when you are not present. As long as there are two of them they will be OK in a fairly small space.

It has been my experience that kittens don't really like open spaces, could you put them in one room in the house during the day? The last kitten I introduced to my two older cats like to sleep in his cage at night, but all day for two kittens wouldn't be good in a cage. Once they get bigger it won't be as much of a problem for you, when they were small I always worried my kittens would get into something or crawl into a space they shouldn't be in. Keep them safe, I know they will bring you much joy!

no! they'll hurt themselves. just confine them to a small area in a room.

not with the run of the house, they need to be confined to one area whether it be in the bathroom with food and litter box, or in a hallway with other doors shut. They don't know any better and can eat or choke on objects or get caught up in cords, drapes, etc, it's better to be safe than sorry. I would enclose an area for them. I had 4 kittens at 6 weeks and they stayed in an empty hallway that has tile floor. they had 2 litter boxes, food, water, and balls to play with. You have to be careful of toys too as they can choke on parts. alot of cat toys are not safe without supervision. Balls are ok if they are hard rubber and not chewable. You want to have a box or bed for them to sleep in too and nothing to climb on. Have a scratching post for them to use too or your door frames will get shredded! If in the bathroom make sure they can't get into the toliet OR into any soaps, cleaning agents or wound up in curtains or shades. I had a year old cat play with blinds and get caught in the hanging string cord and choke, lucky I was home and heard a noise..you have to kitten proof everything. My cats are 2 now and ok to be alone much of the time but if I'm more than a few hours I put them in the hallway anyhow.

if you leave them in one room with water and a litter box, little food, they will be ok

i would be scrared to leave them outside, any animal could harm them..

When I brought my 2 6 week old kittens home i had to leave them alone, they were fine, luckily they were already litter trained and i just made sure they knew where the litter box was, they mostly stayed under the couch, because they were scared when i was their, and when i got home they were fine, I might have been lucky though, and it was in a 1 bedroom apratment. With two of them they shouldn't get bored cause if they were bored they would tear up stuff.
