Kittens

Kittens


It takes a pregant female cat 65 until she gives birth. When kittens ae born they are blind and deaf. They also can't walk. They are completely helpless. A mother will hide her kittens if she's outside in a good spot where nobody can hurt them. The average amount of kittens is four. When their about 1 week old they start to see and hear. A little bit after they learn to hear and see they start to walk. They crawl a little, but in a week or so they'll start to run. If you want a litter of nice and loveable kittens it's good to find them before they can walk(I've learned after seeing kittens that are totally scared of humans). It is good not to handle a kitten the day it's born, but it won't hurt it any(we held Bootz when he was 1 hour old). If it's the mothers first time having kittens then watch her closely. She might sit on them and that could injure them.
If you're planing to give the kittens any the best time is when they are 8 weeks old. First make sure the mother is at least trying to wean the kittens. If she isn't give them some hard food. When they learn to eat it, and start to drink water they are probably ready to get given away. After about 5 days they'll forget they're brothers and sister. If you decide to put them together again they'll probably hiss and fight, but they'll probably will start to remember each other. They'll probably already remember their mom, but they might not. If you're planning to keep the kittens you can let them stay with their mom as long as she wants. Just make sure after awhile they stop nursing. After they stop nursing they'll still probably have a mother son/daughter bond together(for example: Bootz and his mom have a bond as strong as ever, but he doesn't nurse anymore).
