Six months is considered the norm for when a kitten goes into heat for the first time, but some have done it as soon as four and a half months. A cat can get pregnant in its first heat cycle.
At least 2 months would be best.
It is not a very good idea to open a kitten's eyes. It could damage a kitten's growth. Keep in mind that a kitten's eyes are fully open in four weeks. So, I suggest seeing a vet if the eyes are not developing and not opening after a long period of time.
You cannot keep a kitten in a cage for any long period of time.
The best time to adopt a fall kitten is typically in late summer or early fall, as this is when many kittens are born and available for adoption. Adopting a kitten during this time allows them to adjust to their new home before the colder winter months.
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.
I have a male black kitten and I named it Leo but his full name is Leonardo. Give your kitten a name that you'll be comfortable with for a long time. The kitten won't worry about it. There are no rules (shoulds).
Kittens as young as 8 weeks old can be spayed or neutered. It's not really necessary to have it done THAT early, but keep in mind that cats can start having babies as young as 4 months old. So don't wait too long! Also, getting it done when the kitten is still very young -- like 8 to 12 weeks -- is supposed to be better for their long-term health.
On the contrary; five months is a perfect time to spay your kitten! It is always best to spay and neuter kittens before they reach sexual maturity. This ensures that the kitten does not begin spraying (females on heat can and do spray), yowling at all hours to attract males and trying to escape outside in order to find a mate.
The length of time before an animal stands and walks depends on the animal. A horse takes hours, as does a giraffe, but a kitten takes moments, and a human takes up to 12 months.
No
Yes, 5 months can be considered a relatively long time depending on the context.
