The “Safe Room” Concept
Do not give a new kitten full run of the house immediately. Set up a “safe room” (like a spare bedroom) with their litter tray, food, water, a scratching post, and beds. This prevents them from getting overwhelmed and hiding in unreachable places.

Litter Tray Placement
Keep the litter tray as far away from their food and water bowls as physically possible in the safe room. Cats are hygienic animals and dislike eating near their toilet.
Gradual Exploration
After a few days, when the kitten is confident and eating well in the safe room, open the door and let them explore one new room at a time at their own pace.
