    Kittens - Feeding, Training and Grooming

    • How to get your Cat to Love that New Kitten you've just Brought Home

      Introducing any pet into a household with an established routine can be upsetting – and not just for the newcomer, but also those pets who are already well-established in their current domestic habitat.

    • How to Choose a Breed and Find a Good Cat Breeder

      Experts will tell you that the biggest mistake you could make is to purchase your pet from a pet store or back yard breeder.

    • Best Food for Nursing and Weaning Kittens and Puppies

      Milk from a healthy mother provides the building blocks necessary for puppies and kittens to develop strong immune defense systems.

    • Kitten Mills

      Kitten mills are not all that difficult to recognize. In most cases, you will be able to spot without excessive effort, too many cats. There will be cats everywhere, and the great majority will most likely be in crates, although those you will most likely never see.

    • How do you Care for Orphaned Kittens

      Caring for orphaned kittens is more complicated than just giving them a bottle a couple times a day. If kittens aren’t taken care of when they are newborn they are unable to eliminate waste products properly and can die, even if you are feeding them well.

    • What You Need to Know About Adopting a Kitten

      Perhaps one of the things that take people by surprise the most is how much a kitten actually costs. Just like a car, it’s not the getting of it, but the upkeep. As well as having the basics covered – food, litter, dishes, toys, etc – you also need to take into account the ongoing cost of caring for a kitten as it grows up.

    • Weaning Kittens

      It is not recommended that you give your kitten, or any cat for that matter, cow’s milk. Cow’s milk does not contain the same nutrients present in a cat’s mother’s milk.

    • When Can Kittens be Weaned

      Normally, kittens will need to be weaned once they reach four weeks. Experts suggest that you slowly introduce solid foods into their diets by mixing soft meat with hot water so that it is easily chewed at four weeks.

    • When Do Kittens Start Walking

      The most important factors relating to when do kittens start walking usually revolve around their development timing. If your entire litter is walking by four weeks of age, this is a sign that they are all healthy and thriving.

    • How Long Till Kittens Open their Eyes

      How long till kittens open their eyes actually depends on the length of their fur. The long haired cats will open their eyes on a much later schedule than a short haired cat.

    • Adopting a Kitten from a Shelter

      Adopting a kitten from a shelter is by far one of the most loving ways you can find yourself a new best friend. Shelters provide a desperately needed service to the best of their ability.
