A twelve week old kitten will in no way be able to have kittens of its own. At such an age the kitten is comparable to a young child. Female kittens usually reach sexual maturity around five to seven months old, although they should still never be bred at this age as they are still young and should, ideally, be spayed.

How old can a cat get?
I have no idea if there is a medical hindrance to giving young kittens a bath. However, if you have purchased the kitten from a breeder, it must be at least 10 weeks old, and should be fine if given a bath. Just make sure that the water is lukewarm, so the kitten doesn't get cold, but not too hot or it could overheat. P.S. Generally cats do not enjoy baths. Or water at all for that matter. You will have one angry kitten on your hands. So have fun!

How do you wean a 6 week old kitten?
Ideally you won't remove the kitten from its mother until it is at least 12 weeks old. This allows the kitten to learn important social skills from its mother and siblings. You can help the weaning process by providing shallow dishes of clean water and canned cat food. There should also be a litter box the kittens can climb into and out of; this needs to be cleaned on a daily basis.
Why does your 12-week-old female kitten urinate on you when you're in bed in the morning?
Fully grown (unneutered) male cats sometimes urinate to mark territory, but your kitten is too young and the wrong gender!Also, at that age she is probably fully litter trained. I would suspect a urinary tract infection - have you taken her to the vet?
Can a 12 week old kitten spray?
A twelve week old kitten will in no way be able to spray. At such an age the kitten is comparable to a young child. Kittens usually reach sexual maturity around five to seven months old, and should ideally be spayed before six months old to avoid spraying and other possible problems developing.
How do you potty train a 6 week old kitten?
Actually they would start using the litter box even before that. When the mother cat uses the litter box in front of the kitten, the kitten becomes curious and wants to try what its mother is doing. Kittens would usually climb into the litter box and smell around and then use it. No, actually you have to show the kitten where the litter box is. In some cases, if you see him or her pee, go up to her, say NO, and then pick her up and take her to the litter box and show him or her THIS is where to "go".

What would be a better choice a kitten about a week old or a 6 to 12 month old cat?
The answer to that would depend on your willingness to give time and effort; ie if you want a low-maintainence pet, I would suggest a fully mature (but not an old geezer) cat, instead of a kitten. However, if you are willing to give more, or want to get two or more, I would recommend a kitten. Note: Make sure the kitten is old enough to be taken away from it's mother; a few weeks may not be enough! Good luck & hope this helps! i would sooo prefer a kitten because there sooo cute and you can have them for longer :)
