Very good list, mikischo, however it doesn't address the non health risks such as wondering, fighting, spraying, that may get a pet killed/lost/thrown out of the house. If you are a responsible pet owner, may not be an issue, however for the average pet owner....
The vet who does the spueters for my local shelter does them at 3 lbs. For my fosters that is about 10-12 weeks old as they are fed raw and grow and build muscle at a much better rate than a commercial fed cat.
