| Six
Weeks |
| Hes
now six weeks old and he is more than
ready to explore the home.
If hes indoors, he will move from room to room. A feral
kitten will
follow his mother when she goes to hang out with the other
cats. These
cats will still receive mice from their mother, but they parent dead
anymore. Instead, the kitten has to learn to hunt the
animal. Those
who are eight weeks old will be completely weaned from their mother and
are ready to go to a new home |
| The Next Months |
| Through
the next several months, the cats
will grow really fast.
You'll need to get them in to be vaccinated at this time so that they
are healthy and strong. They will begin to learn what they
have to do
to live with their families and learn which behaviors are
okay. You
can teach your kitten his name as well as a few simple commands
now.
If the cat has long hair, make sure to get him used to allowing
you to
groom him, although the cats coat doesn't need to be brushed just yet.
Sometimes, cats will suddenly develop a bad attitude. Believe
it or
not this is an adolescent stage for them. This happens when
the cat
goes from being a kitten into being a mature cat. Sounds just
like
children, right? This will happen around the fifth to six
month and
may last until the cat reaches a year old. They will still be
playful
but may get carried away to play too aggressively. If your
cat is not
neutered at six months of age, he will be mature enough to reproduce
now. Neutering the cat will help this stage of his
development go more
smoothly. At six months, the cat looks the way he will look
as an
adult even though he may still become larger. |
| Adulthood |
Just
like humans, adult cats
will continue to go through stages. But, these stages can be
dealt
with quite easily. And, unlike that mid life crisis you may
have, the
cat isnt likely to go out to purchase a sports car at this age!
If you take care of your kitten's health as he grows into an adult cat
you will have a fulfilling relationship that will bring both you and
the cat great satisfaction. |
