Kittens cannot survive on their own around the same age as puppies when they are taken to new homes, but twelve weeks is probably the most reasonable. A kitten can then function almost to its full potential and would have learned many behavioral and social skills from its family. They will learn all about grooming and litterbox-use and will learn how to groom, share and play with litter-mates during this time. Taking a kitten away earlier could lead to behaviour issues when it is older.
A kitten should be fully weaned before removed from its mother.
Usually it's a general rule not to remove a kitten from its mom before 12 weeks of age, although weaning may begin weeks earlier.
Kittens should be 12 weeks old when they can leave their mothers.
Sadly, too many kittens are taken away from their mothers too early, usually around six to eight weeks old (some kittens aren't even weaned properly at that age). They have had no chance to learn what behaviour is good or bad, and behavioral problems will become apparent as the kitten gets older which, often, are difficult to correct.
Kittens six to eight weeks old have not learned any important socialisation or behaviour skills yet, which kittens learn from eight weeks onwards. During this time kittens will learn how to play and interact with their littermates, mother and any other animals and humans in the house.
They will learn what behaviour is acceptable and what is not from their mother, and will learn how to play and share with their littermates. They will also learn about grooming and litterbox use at this crucial time. Most kittens are well socialised by the time they are twelve weeks old, and are very likely to grow into very gentle and affectionate pets.
Answer
It's best to make sure kitten is weaned from it's mother and on regular food, as well as given time to socialize with its litter-mates and humans. The best time is twelve weeks old.
The best time is eight weeks at the earliest, although the ideal time is twelve weeks.
I'll answer the question that seems to be asked here; What do you if your kitten is not eating, drinking, or peeing after the day you bring it home? Well, there are three things; stress from just being brought home, maybe a small cold, or a disease. The most likely is the stress from being brought home. The kitten needs time to get used to its new surroundings. If you think a cold may be coming on, monitor the kitten a little bit more. If you see symptoms of ANYTHING, call your local vet.
A kitten is a baby cat (under one year old), but is called a kitten. A cat is an adult cat, over one year in age.

You should never give a cat a bath at any age.
Kori Kitten is an adult movie actress. Her real name, age, and address is not available online as of June 2014.
Calico cats tend to be very independent and often don't socialize very well with other cats. A cat carrier will be needed to bring the kitten home in. Once home the kitten will need a bed which preferably allows it to hide, food and water bowls and a litter box as well as some toys.
Most of the time yes,if the chihuahua is a puppy and the kitten being so young they should get along fine.
If it is a kitten you should buy some toys. Also some food.

just like humans you cannot control the aging process of cats, they grow at their own pace, although they may be arguably cuter at a young age you will find cats devlop their own unique characteristics and bonds, but the kitten you adopted will always be in your home
take it to a vet.
there really is no age... when the kitten first leaves its mother it misses her and wants her to come to it.. once the kitten gets used to its new house and new people they will stop.. and start purring more
A stray kitten under 7 weeks of age usually still drinks it's mother's milk. If it does not have a mother that you know of you should bring it to your veterinarian and ask. They may put your kitten in with a mother that just had kittens, or suggest you feed it kitten milk from your grocery store. If they are older than 7 weeks you can try wet or dry cat food and a tiny bowl of milk or some water.
Just a little bigger than a normal kitten is. They obviously get larger as they grow, but are maybe a third larger than a normal kitten. However it depends on the age of the kitten
