+1 on kitten proofing. You have to take a critical eye toward nearly everything in your home. Plus, it's an on going process as they become stronger jumpers. When they're little, they can't jump on anything too high. As they grow, they're able to jump up on just about anything. So, everything we thought was safe on a high dresser or shelf is not at risk! It's funny, too, what they get fixated on. Right now, our kitten is obsessed with our bathroom sink. The minute you head for the bathroom or she hears the water running, she's there in a flash. It's hard to brush our teeth!
