I'm certain this could be really serious, but just the idea of this kitten
being stuffed underneath the couch or in a hidey hole just cracked me up.
My big ferret Odo used to steal full two liter bottles of coke and
couldn't figure out why they wouldn't fit underneath the couch, I can't
even imagine the look on some poor kitten's face as it's back end is
being pulled into a hole the size of the ferret's head. :-)
 
but seriously, I wouldn't put a lot of BA on the kitten just because it
would find it bad tasting and wouldn't want to bath itself, which would
be a bad habit for a cat, later on in life.
