How do you know if your kitten is healthey?
Ears and eyes are often a good thing to look at. If the eyes are particularly runny/watery, if there's any discharge, or if the third eyelids of the kitten are showing, there is a chance that the kitten is feeling ill. Kittens often have bags under their eyes as their eyes begin to open.
Make sure that the ears do not contain ear mites. This will look like dark brown gunk in the ears, and will cause serious irritation. When a cat has ear mites, it will continue to scratch like a child with chicken pox- even if it scratches its own ears bloody.
Keep an eye out to make sure that your kitten is not vomiting, and that it does not have diarrhea. Also contact your local vet about medicating your kitten for worms, as kittens very often have these.
Be sure to have your kittens vaccinated. A combination/first vaccine is often given between 6 and 7 weeks, and a 'booster' vaccination given one month later. Contact your vet about additional vaccinations that you may want to get for them.
What do you do if a cat has a cold nose and ears?

What colour kittens will you get if you breed a ginger and a grey cat?
All your female kittens will be ginger mottled with another colour (depending on the genetic makeup of both cats, this colour can be anything besides white). If the ginger parent is the tom, all your male kittens will be any colour besides ginger and white, and if the ginger parent is the mother, all your male kittens will be ginger. From this I have given you an easy way to tell the sexes apart, by looking at their fur colours.

Anything after 5 months so get her spayed by that time. A five month old kitten is the equilivent of a 10 year old girl having a baby. Not a good idea for humans or cats.

A kitten is still developing mentally and physically, and there is a high risk of health complications with the mother and the kittens. It is recommended to spay kittens before 6 months of age.

Which kind of meat do tabby cats eat?
It doesn't matter what colour of cat you have, healthy food usually stave's off a multitude of veterinary visits for health issues
You can go to a good pet shop and ask what their recommendations are for good cat food, phone your veterinary and they will give you this advice for free, or go and look at the ingredients at the back of packets and tins. Good quality wet foods are high in Protein and Fat, and because cats are strict carnivores, they use these two nutrients as their primary source of energy. Be sure to look at the ingredients - The best cat foods are the ones with a very high named meat content (labeled as Chicken, Turkey, Rabbit, Lamb, Tuna, etc.) as the FIRST, or first three, ingredients.
It is advisable to stay away from brands that include Corn, Wheat, Cereals, Soy and various Sugars in their foods - cats have difficulty in digesting these and do not provide any nutritional value to the cat whatsoever. Wet food with these specifications are much easier to find than in dry food.
