Best Answer

Yes. A cat is considered a kitten until it reaches 1 years of age. At 1 year old, a cat is thought to have stopped growing and fully mature. Large breeds such as the Maine Coon develop much more slowly and are not considered adult until they are 3 or 4 years old.

What is the difference from a kitten and a cat?

A kitten is a baby cat (under one year old), but is called a kitten. A cat is an adult cat, over one year in age.


How do you get an 8 year old cat who has never interacted with other cats to accept your new 3 month old kitten?

I myself, being the owner of many cats, can tell you this. Your cat may or may not accept your new kitten. The only thing you can do is just introduce them slowly, don't force anything onto your older cat that it doesn't want. The older cat will at first hiss, cuff, or growl at your new kitten, but in time he'll learn to tolerate the newcomer. He just needs to learn that the kitten isn't there to take his place, make sure you're still giving your older cat the attention that he wants and show him that even though you have another cat, you still love him just as much.


What if your 9 month old kitten is pregnant what could happen?

At 9 months old, it is still a kitten. Kittens are still growing and developing a great deal at this age, and do not reach adulthood until after 1 year old. Just because kittens reach sexual maturity at 5-6 months, doesn't mean it is fine for them to have kittens. However, at this age, the cat is still very much a kitten and pregnancies from cats that young rarely produce a healthy litter of kittens, and poses a risk for the young cats' (and litter) health and well-being.


How old does a ragdoll kitten have to be to have cat treats?

Most cat or kitten treats will state on the packet if not suitable for a kitten of a certain age. If you cannot find any cat treats you can give to your kitten, you can try giving him or her a tiny piece of cooked chicken or a tiny piece of cheese instead.

Will a nine month old cat live if she has kittens?

If that is your case, with the help from you and a vet, she may live, most likely. It depends on her size; a small kitten will be at a much larger risk of complications from pregnancy and birth than a larger kitten. The chance of problems is naturally higher compared to that of a pregnant adult cat, as even at 9 months old she is still a growing kitten that hasn't fully developed physically and mentally.
