Kittens

Hi there! I just wanted to write about kittens. My cat had kittens so I know what I'm saying. If you have kittens or a pregnant cat you might want to read this one.

1. You might want to pick up the kittens at least once a day. It will help them to get used to you. If the kitten starts to cry or yell and the mom seems upset please give the kitten back.
2. When the kittens are born they can't see or hear. Try to be quiet though, it might bother the mother.
3. Don't pet the kitten with your whole hand, try just petting it with one finger.
4. When you pick up a kitten don't go far away from the rest of the kittens or the mother. It can make the mother nervous.
5. If you pick up the kittens to much the mother may hide her kittens somewhere else. So don't pick up the kittens to much!
6. If you find that the kittens and mother are gone don't panic! Just look for them. Don't scream or yell. Just wait till you see the mother and follow her to her kittens.
7. Make sure that if you have a small child to watch him/her because they might think they are small little stuffed animals. So show them how to handle the kittens gently and how to pet them. Explain they are not toys or something to play with. And when they are picking them up have an adult help them or watch.
8. If you want to keep one of the kittens please make it get used to a person or the whole family. When you get one make sure it isn't mean or to rowdy it can be a little tricky to take care of them. Make sure you have all the tools for them, toys, litter box, food, treats, etc. Play with you're kitten every day!
9. If you plan to sell them potty train them first. People don't want an untrained cat. Also make sure that they know not to go potty on the ground. And when they do just say "No!" firmly but softly.
10. Make sure the person you are selling the kittens to are nice and gentle. You don't want on all mean and nasty. And make sure that they know exactly what to do if they are new with cats.

These are fact and please take them wisely.
