New Kitten

[Toughmonkeys]

Tomorrow we pick up our kitten. He is 9 weeks old. We've not have cats in nearly 4 years and I'm feeling nervous. I know it will be fine and we are a cat loving family I just can't quite put my finger on what is bothering me. Any tips for having a kitten, it's been a long time since we've had one?

Get 2!!! 9 weeks is quite young, they need a lot of play and are still learning to socialise.

Prepare for all of your furniture to be destroyed :)

Lots and lots of toys :)

Enjoy!

Come on OP you know the rules!

No kitten pics = no advice given 😂

Will post photo tonight. I've had plenty experience with kittens as 3 of my cat had litters. I was always happy to see them homed, with 3 children at home there will plenty of people to play with him. I just feel I've blocked all the bad bits 😂

Here he is 😊

So tiny! He looks like a hunter in the making the way he's stalking his toys.

He's fabulous. We got our kitten 9 weeks ago ( at 9 weeks) and it was a shock but so so so rewarding. Non stop play then they fall asleep mid play. Very shy for a few days and now is lie my little shadow

Poor thing looks lonely to me....

Yes, he was hiding most of the night and as the day has gone on he has gotten braver and more playful and wanting petted. sooverthemill your kitten is gorgeous .

Aww he is sweet! He looks almost the same as our girl! Ours hasn't ruined any furniture, she has a 3 tier (fiance said only the best for our girl) scratching post which she uses very well. She also has a scratching box which she also uses. She is our only cat and she doesn't get lonely. We play with her whenever she wants to play and she has a rabbit sister whom she enjoys interacting with. We also have which I recommend is a hooded litter tray which was £12 from pets at home.

Aww he's so cute reminds me of mine he's coming up 11 weeks. This was him when I got him at 8 weeks.

toughmonkeys it so cute when you realise they are hunting you! For a while now we rescued only old and sick cats but decided we wanted a bit less heartbreak ( 2 elderly cats pets within 6 months) and I had totally forgotten how cute kittens are! Photo of the day she came

Nothing better than a new kitten thread, makes you feel all fuzzy!

My older children just came home today . One is a bit uncertain as his cat was killed by 2 male cats who started hanging around our area. My daughter thinks it's brilliant. He is settling in so well. Vets tomorrow.
