At what age can you get a kitten: those who neglect the rules have a sad fate

Even though little kittens look very cute, you should not rush to separate them from their mother cat and take them to your home.

If the kittens have a mother, ask her to leave the kitten with her until at least 10-11 weeks (which is 2.5 months in months), and preferably until 12-23 weeks (or 3 months).

After this time, your future pet will have developed its own immunity. The kitten will be quite strong and taught the basics of independent life by its mother.

A kitten is fully grown by 3-4 months. If you leave kittens with a cat, she usually stops caring for them completely by the end of the fourth month of their life.

Moreover, if the animal belongs to a large breed, kittens may take longer to mature.

And those people who want to watch a kitten grow up, and do it from as early an age as possible, should contact the breeder with a request to send photos and videos.

If you rush, you will at least end up with a pet that is stunted in growth, has low immunity, has difficulties with litter training, and has an ineradicable sucking reflex.

And these are just some of the problems that will arise if the kittens were weaned from their mother too early.

Previously, we compiled a top 5 list of cat breeds that have a perpetually dissatisfied face.
