Kittens that leave their mother earlier than 9 weeks should be examined regardless of their age within the first few days you take them home. Cats and kittens sleep an average of 16 hours per day. Pet owners that are used to dogs having the same basic life style as people may be troubled by cats sleeping habits. Cats generally eat 8-10 times per day. The most convenient form of food for cats is dry food since they eat so many times per day.
Cats generally like wet food only when it first comes out of the can, very moist and fresh.
As the food stays in the bowl longer than a few hours, most cats will not eat the canned food unless it is moistened and warmed. Cats and kittens are certainly a joy to be around with their inquisitive manner and playful antics. The mother cat or queen gives the kittens protection against some diseases through her milk much like all mammal babies. This protection may only last for a few weeks but is generally gone by 3 months of age. Kittens have little protection from disease during the ages from 9-12 weeks.
