Lights on or off?

8 week old kittens (2 of them). Is light something noticed, missed,
helpful, hurtful in the "quarentine room"? To me, I'd rather there
be light. But what about to a pair of kittens? So far I'm mostly
leaving the light off. When I go in to play with them, or feed them,
they are sleeping. They immediately wake up and play when I turn the
light on.

What I did with Pearl was light on until bedtime, then light off, but i had
a little night light in there with her. I think it also helped adjust her to
a schedule.

I usually do lights on during the day, off at bedtime with fosters. BTW -
Congrats on the kittens :-)

I take it there is no window for access to natural light?

It sounds like you are talking about a reasonable light, not a
glaring overhead light?

Just a regular bathroom light. I didn't have her in "the Pokey"

******************

I use 4 watt night lights. One is in the hall and one is in the back
bath where I keep the litter pan.

If I have to get up at night, I turn the room light on. This is for my
safety as well as assuring I don't step on the cat. Better safe than
sorry. MLB
