Kittens are Born Cute

Many have experienced the pleasure of owning a cat. Most of us would classify a kitten as “cute.” A tiny kitten can leave the mother cat at approximately eight to twelve weeks of age and come to live with its new owner.


Usually the mother cat gives birth to from two to five kittens at a time. The gestation period is eight to nine weeks in length. At birth they will be helpless without nursing and care given by the mother cat. For these reasons the kitten should be left with its mother for eight weeks or longer. As human babies do, the kitten receives antibodies from the milk which protects him from infection later on in life. The newborn kitten is blind for the first seven to ten days of his life. It takes about ten weeks for full visual capabilities to develop.

What we view as fighting among litter mates is part of early development. They play games that simulate hunting and stalking behavior. Predatory nature is intuitive to cats. Before being domesticated cats were skilled hunters of smaller animals regarding them as a food source.

The kittens begin to wean at three to four weeks of age. Complete weaning is usually accomplished by the age of eight weeks. Just as some human children will live at home long after maturity, some kittens stay with the mother cat until sexual maturity. As mentioned, they can be safely separated from the mother at about eight weeks of age. It is however, considered optimal for them to stay with the mother longer. About twelve weeks is best.

In some locations it is illegal to separate them from the mother before the age of eight weeks.

Your new kitten will benefit greatly from vaccinations against:


* Feline viral rhinotracheitis


* Feline calicirirus


* Feline panleukopenia


Kittens should be wormed at approximately one month of age to eliminate roundworms.

Spaying or neutering is highly recommended both for docile behavior and simply because there are too many unwanted cats and kittens being euthanized. This is an ongoing problem which can be alleviated by a little birth control among cats.

While all kittens are adorable and capable of chasing a ball of yarn around the house, you may choose to purchase a pedigreed breed. Many breeds of cats are registered the same way dogs are, with verifiable blood lines and registration papers.

One special breed of cat is the Persian, characterized by a short muzzle and long luxurious white hair. The typical Persian cat has a sophisticated and somewhat snobby appearance. They do make excellent pets. They love to be taken on your lap and petted for long periods of time. From ancient Persia (which is now of course Turkey) the first documented Persian cats were introduced to Italy in 1620. They were next exported to France then Britain. Originally interbred with Turkish Angoras their appearance has been altered through selective breeding to the modern Persian Longhair. Their short muzzle has become a health problem as their faces grew flatter over the generations. The modern line of Persians have breathing problems because of the structure of their faces and muzzles.

At a purebred cat show you will see winning Persian cats with short legs, a wide head with large eyes and an exaggerated shortened muzzle. The first documentation of Persians being registered with the Cat Fanciers Association was in 1871 when they began to keep records. This pet requires daily care and a monthly bath to keep its long white fur in pristine condition. If you choose a kitten of this breed, plan on setting aside time for daily grooming and giving it lots of petting and affection. You’ll be rewarded with a long-time companion since their life span is from ten to nineteen years. They are sedentary and affectionate pets when fully grown.

Cute, Little, Mischievous Kittens for Adoption

There are various animals that people love to adopt and one of the animals that are wanted is kittens. These cute little mischievous kittens are considered as being suitable for adoption. When you look at kittens for adoption purposes there are various breeds that you will find as being suited for your lifestyle.

The many breeds of kittens for adoption are ones like tortoiseshell kittens, Siamese kittens, Persian kittens, and other varieties. When you are considering adopting a kitten you should first see what the requirements that kittens need for their care are. These various care requirements include a place for your kitten to sleep in the night and one for the day.

The foods that kittens need should be seen to before you make any decisions about adopting any type of kitten. You can ask pet shelter staff and your vet about the various needs of the kittens for adoption that you will see in these places. These needs will include some toys that you can fix in your rooms for the kitten to play with.

Some of these toys will need to be impregnated with catnip as kittens and cats go wild about catnip. There should be a scratching post so that your kitten will have place to run their claws over. Besides seeing to their physical activity level, kittens for adoption need to have a schedule that they can become familiar with.

This means that when you take your potential new family member home you should let the kitten become familiar with your home and garden. Let the kitten see you go about your ordinary routine. For instance the times that you get out of bed maybe leisurely or they may be hurried. In these moments you will have a small amount of time to look after the needs of your kitten.

When both you and your kitten are familiar with your routine and there are no real problems developing from the kittens for adoption trial period, you will be able to fill out the forms that will allow you to become the actual owner of these mischievous little bundles of fur.

As there are so many facts to be considered before you become the owner of a kitten you may want some time to think about all of these facts. Once you have made your decisions about looking for kittens for adoption you can see the various ones that are just waiting at animal shelters.
