Our utility room isn't that big. Next to it is the boiler room, which isn't used for anything anymore, so when we got a dryer my father made a hole in the wooden wall between the two room and the dryer is standing in the boiler room through the opening. The hole was made bigger when my parents added a small freezer on top of the dryer. The freezer has gone and my father put the dryer on an old coffee table so you don't have to bend down to load it.
The only problem now is that through the boiler room cats can get into the upstairs front room, which is basically where my parents store a lot of stuff and we don't want the kittens to get in there (yet). I just spend almost half an hour with cardboard, tape and clips to shield off the access to the boiler room around the dryer from the kittens. Later this week they'll be allowed out of the livingroom and into the rest of the house.
I also cleared the stairs next to my bed; one of Nikita's favourite games was to run up the stairs and jump from the top onto my bed, preferably onto me when I was sleeping. I expect something similar to happen with the kittens.
