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 :)

10 weeks (just over 2 months) is often the best time to get rid of a kitten. You should not separate them before that, but also do not keep them for much longer than 12 weeks, as they may be too old to find homes/for people to want at that point.

nine weeks is pretty young. your kitten may or may not recognize your scent, it depends on the kitten and how long you were with it before that. if it was for a few weeks, you should be fine.
