How Fast Will Your Cat Will Grow - The Important Stages In A

Article:

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

then growing. The kitten's eyes will open and he will want to

explore. At four weeks old, he is 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

other cats. These cats will still receive mice from their

mother, but they aren't dead anymore. Instead, the kitten has to

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.

You'll need to get them in to be vaccinated at this time so that

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 his name as well as a few

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

just like children, right? This will happen around the fifth to

six month and may last until the cat reaches a year old. They

will still be playful but may get carried away to play too

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

that mid life crisis you may have, the cat isn't likely to go

out to purchase a sports car at this age!

If you take care of your kitten's health as he grows into an

adult cat you will have a fulfilling relationship that will

bring both you and the cat great satisfaction.
