We all love our pets. When your pets give birth to their off springs, it almost feels like becoming a grandpa or grandma. If you have a cat for long enough time, I guess you are familiar to this feeling.  Kittens are very sensitive creatures and the first year of their life is the most important one. This is the time when they learn to behave; their manners and they grow to what they will be for the rest of their life. But most importantly, this is the time when you bond with them.

Like any other new comer, the first week of the kitten’s life is very critical. They are very vulnerable at this part of life. They tend to stay close to their mother and need the nutrition to grow stronger. As their fur is not well developed, you need to ensure a nice warm temperature for them. Keep them in a safe place as it might be a lucrative food for rats and other predators.

After 6 weeks the kittens will still tend to stay close to their mother. But it is important for them to learn the ways of life and defense. The mom should be around the kittens to teach them the important skills. This will continue till the 12^th week.

Around the 13^th week the baby teeth will start to be replaced by adult teeth. This is the right time to start the practice of teeth cleaning. The kittens at this age tend to fight the adult cats but the adults always make a point about who is the boss around here.

Starting from the 27^th week up to 52^nd week they will grow the personality traits and behaviors which are similar to the adult cats. They might act a bit rude at this point even to you. Don’t be hurt. Keep loving them and give them affection but never force it.

Understanding and treating your kittens the right way during the first year of their life can create a strong bond between you and your kitten. If you have a chance to help the kittens grow to adult cats, you will feel great and it is always a great fun.

Kittens can be adopted at 8–12 weeks old. This is when they’re most active, exploring their world and finding interesting ways to navigate it. Since your kitten will be working on his motor skills, you’ll see him leaping, running, stalking, and pouncing with a deep curiosity for his surroundings.

Get creative with the games you play. Believe or not, a box can offer endless amusements for kittens. Even if an amazing catnip toy came inside the box, your kitty will love jumping inside it or using it as a fort.

Although pet stores sell lots of colorful, feathery, and bouncy kitten toy, you will be surprised by how many everyday objects are just as exciting. Kittens love to hide in paper, claw at newspaper, and fetch small items. Of course, be sure these objects are safe, with handles removed, rings cut, and sharp parts removed.
