Why You Shouldn't Take a Kitten Away From a Cat Too Early: You'll Get a Bad Time

31.07.2024 15:54

Some people think that if you take a kitten away from its mother earlier, it will be easier for it to learn to live with a new owner, but in fact, this opinion is far from the truth.

Separating a kitten from a female cat too early can create problems for both the owner and the pet itself.

When a kitten is close to its mother, it goes through important stages of physical and emotional development, so a kitten that has to deal with early weaning will have to face a number of difficulties.

In communication with people

The kitten experiences panic fear of the new owner, so it may grow up to be an extremely cowardly or overly aggressive pet - it is unlikely that any owner will like such a neighborhood.

In litter training

It is undoubtedly difficult for a person to train a pet to use a litter box - to do this, at a minimum, you need to always be near it.

If you don’t keep an eye on your pet, you may encounter him completely ignoring the toilet and with piles and puddles appearing in the most unexpected and hard-to-reach places.

In developing hunting skills and ensuring safety

Kittens that were taken away from their mother early are unlikely to become good mouse catchers, and they will most likely not be able to hide from the enemy.

Meeting other cats or dogs can have tragic consequences, because in case of conflict the kitten will not be able to defend itself and fight back, and when the animal grows up, it may have problems with procreation, since it does not know how to behave properly.
