Kitten Development Stages – Pet Tip 249
When we bring a kitten home for the first time to adopt it as a pet, it should be between nine and twelve weeks old. This is so the kitten has a chance to spend time with its mother and so that the kitten becomes socialized with its littermates and learns proper kitten behaviour. But what happens before the kitten comes home? This article will outline some of the important milestones in kittenhood in an effort to familiarize you with some of the stages of kitten development.
Kittens are born blind and deaf and they remain that way for around the first fourteen days of their lives. They use their sense of smell to find their way toward their mothers for nourishment and heat. They really need to stay close to their mothers for these first few weeks as they are unable to regulate their own body temperature. The umbilical cord typically falls off after the first few days of life.

Well, when I was about 6 weeks old or so my handmaid found me hiding under her porch. I had been the victim of a drop-off and I was very malnurished. Therefore, I didn't trust humans to well! My handmaid was diligent though. For three days she tried to lure me out. Finally I realized she wasn't going to hurt me so I decided to see what she wanted. I am so glad I did. She found me to be so special she named me "Blessing" because she said that's just what I was. When I first came to my home, I was small enough to hold in the palm of my lady's hand. Now at 8 months old I take up most of her lap. It's the cat's meow here for I AM the queen of this house. My handmaid has a husband and two children who love me to death. There's not a moment that goes by that I am being ignored, but on those occaissions I would rather be, I love to nap in the shoe bin of my handmaids closet. I have a variety of balls and mice that the children like to play with with me! Plus they have pet Cavies that I take pleasure in pestering on a daily basis. At night I like to sleep on my handmaids chest or in her arms. It seems to comfort her when I am near. And believe it or not but I can't stand seafood! Anything, with tuna or shrimp or any fish in general I refuse to eat. I'd much rather have turkey and chicken and beef. I am also very particular about my litter pan! I expect it to be cleaned as soon as it is soiled and I will sit there and meow until it is taking care of. I also only drink fresh cold filtered water from the fridge. There's no use trying to give me that nasty tap water because I will not drink it! Needless to say I am very well taken care of here and I thoroughly enjoy being the queen of the castle. I had a rough start but just look at me now.
