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 12th week.
Around the 13th 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 27th week up to 52nd 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.
