The cat litter box has to be in a place where the puppy can’t get to it, he will eat the feces at the first opportunity. Am I right? Cat people please jump in!
And, the puppy will soon be able to get onto the coffee table….

Believe me, you don’t want to go to the emergency vet if you don’t have to. You have to keep the puppy in a puppy proofed small gated room when you are out. Otherwise they chew everything and swallow foreign objects. The chewing goes on till they are at least a year old, they can’t be trusted till they are about 1 and 1/2 years old. It starts with the teething, they chew coffee table legs, door thresholds.
I don’t want to alarm you, but I have been through it a few times….
PS: This would be a good time to start brushing his teeth once a day, see YouTube for how to videos. Small breeds tend to have lousy teeth, by brushing you may be able to avoid professional cleanings for a while.
