At 8 weeks of age, a kitten will still spend about half its time sleeping.

Eat, play, sleep. Repeat. What a great life!

So long as your kitten is eating regularly, using the litter box, and playing, do not be concerned that it sleeps for a large portion of its day - it's still growing, and all that play time wears it out!

A twelve week old kitten will in no way be able to have kittens of its own. At such an age the kitten is comparable to a young child. Female kittens usually reach sexual maturity around five to seven months old, although they should still never be bred at this age as they are still young and should, ideally, be spayed.


How often do you feed 6 week old kittens and what do you feed them?

6 week old kittens should still be with their mother, if they do not have a mother then you should mix a tiny bit of soft kitten food with kitten milk (never use cow's milk) and slowly decrease the amounts of milk as he gets older. Make sure they get enough food by feeling their tummy-if it is hard, they have had enough, if it is soft, then they need some more. Don't feed them too much at once or it will make them sick. You should feed them about five or six times a day or whenever they are hungry. :)
