This is an engineering job, not a general tidy. Three named hazards dominate a living room for a young kitten: electrical cords she will chew while teething, blind cords whose loops can strangle a climbing animal, and the small objects she can fit in her mouth. Handle each system separately, with a physical fix for each, and then audit the result from her height rather than yours.
Electrical Cords: Sleeve, Raise, Remove
Gather loose cables into rigid split tubing or hard covers that teeth cannot puncture, and run them along walls or behind heavy furniture instead of across open floor where they invite attack. A dangling phone charger is the worst configuration in the room: it moves, it is thin, and it is usually live. Coil chargers on tables, charge devices in a closed drawer or another room overnight, and unplug lamps, consoles, and heaters at the wall when they are not in use.
Check the sleeving monthly. Kittens worry at one spot until soft covers fray, so replace damaged sections promptly and reroute any cable a determined kitten keeps reaching. Bitter sprays are a backup at best; a cord she physically cannot reach or bite through is the actual solution, and any cord showing tooth damage comes out of service immediately rather than being taped and returned.
Blind Cords: No Loop Within Reach
A continuous loop hanging beside a window is a noose at kitten height, and kittens climb curtains directly into it. The safe options are to replace looped cords with cordless or wand-operated blinds, or to cut the loop, fit breakaway tassels, and wind any remaining cord onto a cleat screwed high on the frame where no furniture gives her a launch pad. Never simply drape the loop over the top of the blind and call it done; it slides back down within days.
Apply the same loop logic to curtain tiebacks, drawstrings on Roman blinds, and dangling pull chains near radiators or shelves. Walk every window in the room and physically pull each cord: if a loop forms anywhere below the height she can jump to from the nearest furniture, that window is not finished.
The Small-Object Audit at Kitten Height
Sit on the floor and run your eyes across it at kitten level. The swallowable set in a typical living room includes hair ties, elastic bands, buttons, coins, screws from flat-pack furniture, earbuds, pen lids, children's small toys, and stray medication tablets. Hair ties deserve special attention because cats seek them out and they obstruct intestines; they live in a closed box from today, never on a wrist left on the sofa or a bedside table she can reach.
Give every small object a closed home: lidded boxes, drawers that shut fully, or a different room. Then make the audit a habit rather than an event, because living rooms regenerate clutter nightly. A two-minute floor sweep before the kitten's evening play session catches the day's arrivals, and any object small enough to fit through a cardboard tube deserves the same suspicion as the named list above. Rotating that nightly sweep between family members through Care Teams scheduling in KinsLe stops it quietly becoming nobody's job.
