KITTEN INFORMATION THAT YOU WILL NEVER USE IN LIFE

[[ hardyrex ]]

YAY.

So, here is some information on kitten growth from birth to a year, divided into little sections just for you. You're welcome.

Birth - 10 Days
- Kittens are completely helpless.
- All they do to live is eat and stay warm. Nothing else.
( Also stated that mother must be in good health so she can provide care for her little, but that isn't important for this. )

10 - 14 Days
- Eyes and ears are open.
- Ideal time to introduce kittens to gentle touch and sound.
- Kittens begin to stand and walk. In other words, they now tumble around.
- Baby teeth appear. Nom.

Weeks 3 - 4
- Kittens begin to eat solid food.
- Kittens progress from walking to running.
- Begin to use litterbox dirt place.

Day 14 - Week 14
- Socialization phase. Get the ear plugs.
- Most sensitive period for learning social relationships.
( Should have positive experiences with humans, other cats, and other animals. Not really the case here... )

During Week 14
- Running, jumping, climbing skills become more refined and efficient.
- Growth continues but at a slower rate.

6 - 12 Months
- Pretty much hits adult cat. Sexual maturity is reached, sex characteristics appear, and exhibit territorial behavior.

And that's it. Obviously we haven't learned everything, and if anything else comes up of interest I'll post it here. c:
