Just like having a child, it can be incredibly fulfilling
bringing a kitten into your family and watching it grow up. It
takes only a year for your cute little kitten to mature into a
cat. It can seem hard to believe but it will happen fast. Being
prepared is the goal here. So what are the key milestones for a
young cat?
The First Moments
Kittens are born blind and they are completely dependant on
their mother. The first stages will involve learning to eat and

romping around shakily with
his siblings. At this time he can begin to learn to use the
litter box and should start to become a social animal. In the
wild, the kitten's mother will start to supplement his diet with
dead mice and other small pretty. But, you may want to give him
some soft kitten food or some dry food that is softened a little
with water.
Six Weeks
He's now six weeks old and he is more than ready to explore the
home. If he's indoors, he will move from room to room. A feral
kitten will follow his mother when she goes to hang out with the

learn to hunt the animal. Those who are eight weeks old will be
completely weaned from their mother and are ready to go to a new
home.
The Next Months
Through the next several months, the cats will grow really fast.

they are healthy and strong. They will begin to learn what they
have to do to live with their families and learn which behaviors
are okay. You can teach your kitten

simple commands now. If the cat has long hair, make sure to get
him used to allowing you to groom him, although the cat's coat
doesn't need to be brushed just yet.
Sometimes, cats will suddenly develop a bad attitude. Believe it
or not this is an adolescent stage for them. This happens when
the cat goes from being a kitten into being a mature cat. Sounds

aggressively. If your cat is not neutered at six months of age,
he will be mature enough to reproduce now. Neutering the cat
will help this stage of his development go more smoothly. At six
months, the cat looks the way he will look as an adult even
though he may still become larger.
Adulthood
Just like humans, adult cats will continue to go through stages.
But, these stages can be dealt with quite easily. And, unlike
