HELP!

[sirenasfun]

Those of you with kitty experience *coughEMIcough*, I just wanted to ask how dangerous would it be for a cat to be separated from it's mother at 6 weeks? My friend whose cat had cats and is giving me one? Yeah, she's trying to get rid of them before the 8 weeks is up because they're "too much". *sigh* Should have seen this coming, she's not a cat

Aww, they're so cute :[! -kittennaps them for myself- How can she not like kittens?? ;A; D'awwww. -wants!-

They really should wait for 8 weeks just so the kittens get enough of mother's nutrients and immunity (just like with a newborn baby, you know?) but you can separate them from their mother at 6 weeks (but definitely no earlier than that). If the kitten is able to eat soft cat food, that's really good. You don't need to feed them milk, but I would suggest that when you start weening them off of wet cat food to dry, start off with soaking the dry in some warm milk and slowly working into harder food.

Every time I go over to see them, I just fall more in love.

Ok, cool! I'd much rather wait for them to be 8 weeks so it will be as healthy as possible. Plus, I have to finish cleaning my room. D:

Oh, and another question. I know puppies sometimes like to chew on things, are cats the same? And if so, do I have to worry about her electrocuting herself on an extension cord I have in my room?

You won't really have to worry about chewing usually. Give them toys like.. yarn, feathers, whatever. -0-!
