We are fetching our cats (age 1 and 4) on Saturday. Is it OK to shut them in their cat room at bedtime overnight? We are setting up our small single room for them. They'll be in there with all their things until they've settled in but I was just wondering if it was OK to shut them in overnight while we sleep (a) initially and (b) in the long term. They will be going out when they can (the Internet has suggested waiting anything from two days to six weeks...) but I'd prefer them indoors overnight.
Any general advice would be appreciated. They've lived with a family before but have been at Cats Protection for about 7 weeks. We don't know too much about what brought them to rescue - just that their owner couldn't cope any longer. We hope this means financially or something and not because they are monsters! They are our first cats so any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!
