Is it a bad sign when a cat starts to tremble?
I am not a vet but, generally speaking, Yes. When a cat trembles or shivers it is a sign that the cat is having some sort of difficulty or pain. Two possibilities would be a nerve disorder or a poisonous substance has entered the cat's system.
Once you let her play with you, you are like a toy that she owns so you must be the pack leader. If she gets used to nibbling your fingers and sees no pain or harm through this she may start biting or scratching you. One of the ways to stop her from biting you is to just quickly tap her on the nose when she bites so the nose is very sensitive. if there is still further biting, stand up lean over her so she is looking up to you and walk towards it she will start to walk backwards but it is normal. It means you have overpowered over her. If she starts nibbling your leg, put the whole palm of your hand on her nose, Repeat these processes. Eventually they will get the idea.
Could i removed my cat's 6 days old kittens from under my bed?
You can, however, keep in mind the mother cat instinct will tell her to hide her kittens. This is common in the wild. You may move the kittens, only to notice she will move them back, in the cover of night, or when you are not at home.
If the kittens are out of harm, it's best to let mom do what she does best...care for her young, in her way.
Observe the kittens. Make sure they are getting proper nutrition. If one looks sick, then remove it. Otherwise, it's probably best to leave them where mom feels comfortable.

How long is recovery for a cat declaw?
Every cat will heal at their own speed however when my cat was declawed he came home from the vets the day after surgery. He walked a little slow for a day and was careful not to jump much but was back to normal within a couple of days. He was 8 months when he was declawed.
About two weeks for the feet to mostly heal up, cats can be back to normal like the answer above said in about a week. One of mine is up to almost 4 weeks now and is still bleeding because she's chewing on her feet.
ADD:
Just to expand the answer a little, please be aware that some cats can develop joint or muscle (even behaviour issues such as biting) problems many years after the delawing operation.
Some cats, after a couple of weeks or months, adjust without any further pain or problems. However, some other cats are in pain for many years afterwards, and so will walk and sit in an unnatural manner to minimize the pain. This, in time, can cause stiffness and pain in their legs, hips, and spine. Some cats never really fully recover from being declawed.
Do kitten pupils change as they get older?
Not the pupils - the colour of their eyes change. Cats, as kittens open their eyes ten days after being born. evey kitten is born with blue eyes. Between the age of 6-8 weeks their eyes will change colour and they will stay that colour for the rest of their lives. they can change to yellow, green and loads more, or they will stay blue. I'm not sure why, but it could dependon the parents geens and if they are pedigree kittens, some breeds have their own specific eye colour they keep for their lifetime.

I don't know, but i have had dogs eat my cat's poop before, so be careful! YUM!
Dogs can be trained to use a litter box with a short (about 1 inch high) edge, but they do not like to hop over large sides. Also, dogs prefer to go on a "wee wee pad," instead of in litter.
What is the difference between inside and outside electrical boxes?
An outside electrical box has a watertight in-use outlet cover so even when a cord is plugged in the outlet stays covered. That is the main difference between the outside box and inside box. An outside box also uses a ground fault circuit interrupter.
