Kittens' claws are often out when they play because they use them for balance, grip, and to explore their environment. It's a natural behavior for them, even when they are just playing.

Is it ok for a kitten to feed from its mum once she has been spade?

Yes it is ok. I presume the kitten is old enough then for solid food or is being bottle fed? Nursing is something comforting for the kitten, even if it is not getting any milk. So long as the kitten is getting nourishment elsewhere, it poses no risk to kitten or mom.


How can you make a kitten play?

It depends of your kitten but most like to chase after string. Take a piece of string and swing it back and forth in front of your kitten. You can even attach a ball made out of paper onto one end so the kitten can "catch" something. Make sure it is not to high and that you are not swinging it too fast. Your cats eyes should move back and forth after a little while your cat will pounce and start playing with you. "Wand" toys are also very effective in getting kittens to play.

How do you care for a kitten?

Never give your cat or kitten milk i talked to a vet and said not to because they can get so sick and do not give your cat/kitten alot of cat tuna especially the kitten always take care of it never leave him/her alone with a cat that does not like him/her. and talk to your local vet about it or look on the inernet for some numbers. or at merced there is a pet smart and ask them about it they should know alotMore difficult then a cat, that's for sure.A kitten has to be fed 3 times a day, & you always have 2 make sure that their water is cleaned. You didn't tell how old the "baby" kitten is, but until their about 6 months old, (young cat), 3 meals a day.Kittens bedding has to be cleaned daily, and their litter box so it doesn't stink up the house. You have to have extra toys to get the kitten interested and attracted at all times. Kittens will bite if they're petted way too much...so don't allow other people touch your kitty, even you friends; that can reveal stress pain.It's cruelty to have a kitten in a cooped up space. Average indoor cats sit around around the house, but don't do that to your kitten until their used to you, so in case if they're lost, they'll trust you first. Make sure your kitten is used to the place it's in first before they can start roamin the house!! Kittens only defense is sharp claws and snappy teeth, so don't pet them in the stomach, around the face areas, ears, and never ever EVER play with their tail. If a kitten doesn't bite you until their six months old, chances are they will never bite you for the rest of their life time. Hope this helps :)
