what to expect from your kitten each week:

Day 1
The kitten is blind and deaf and completely dependent on the mother.

Week 1
The kitten's eyes open after 7 - 10 days. The young sleep huddled up together to keep warm.

Week 3
The kittens are now fully mobile and eager to explore. They are now ready to be given a little solid food (powdered cat milk substitute, finely chopped cooked meat or canned kitten food). Make sure you buy kitten food and not cat food as it contains much smaller pieces of meat and extra vitamins etc.

Week 4
Once the kittens are eating solids, they can be trained to use a litter tray.

Week 5
Feed the kittens a range of different foods to encourage good eating habits later in life. Finely minced cooked meat and poached white fish can be given to add a little variety to the diet to canned kitten food.

Week 6
The kittens learn how to hunt by pouncing on toy prey. Provide them with a variety of things to play with such as balls & fake mice and any toys that can be bought in your local pet store.

Week 7

Regular weighing and monitoring of the kittens' weights will allow you to keep an eye on their development.

Week 9-12
The kitten should be vaccinated against Feline respiratory disease and Feline Infectious Enteritis. A kitten should not be allowed outside until it has received these vaccinations.
