A male cat can be a dad when he is 8 months old. After about sixty to sixty-two days the mother gives birth to between 1 and 8 kittens. Most cats have 3 to 5 kittens. When the kittens are born, they are blind and deaf. After about 4 weeks kittens can start eating soft food, but they shouldn't leave their mother until they are 12 weeks old.
Cats get certain diseases.
To prevent those diseases, you should take a kitten to get shots from the vet. If you get an older cat, make sure it has had its shots. You should watch a cat's eyes and ears. If their eyes get mucous in them, you can wipe them with a damp piece of cotton. If you cat shakes its head a lot or scratches its ears your cat might have ear mites.
