Bringing home a new kitten can be a wonderful and exciting experience. When first bringing the kitten home, remember that it will be a very stressful time for the kitten, especially if this is the first time away from its mother and family. You should give it time to adjust to the new surroundings in your home.
Kittens aged 8-12 weeks need four meals a day, 3-6 months three meals, and kittens over 6 months old, two meals. You may want to provide some dry food occassionaly - it depends very much on your lifestyle, what your kitten likes and is used to and if you have other cats in the house with certain feeding routines and habits. Do not give your kitten cow's milk as it can cause diarrhoea. If you wish to feed milk use one that is specially formulated for cats. Diarrhoea that persists for more than 24 hours requires veterinary attention and can be costly. An average visit to the vets for a kitten with diarrhoea can be around £70. It is best to provide fresh drinking water, which should be changed several times per day.

You will need a plastic litter tray which can be filled with sand or cat litter which available from most pet shops and supermarkets. The tray should be placed on newspaper to catch any litter pushed over the side during digging, a large tray will prevent such problems. Place the tray in a quiet accessible corner where your kitten will not be disturbed. Make sure that the litter tray is not next to food and water bowls. The kitten may be reluctant to use the litter tray if it is too close to its food. The litter tray must be kept clean and emptied regularly. Some disinfectants can be toxic to cats, so use only hot water and detergent when cleaning out the tray or ensure you use a cat-friendly disinfectant such as bleach which has been diluted as the manufacturer recommends and the tray rinsed thoroughly before use.

Cute kittens - A kitten is a great pet and a wonderful source of endless companionship and entertainment for his owners. Two kittens double the pleasure of kitten ownership. They will romp and play together supplying you with hours of entertainment. It also takes the pressure off you having to keep up with their sometimes demanding constant playtime. When they are tired they will curl up and sleep together. If you work full time having two kittens keeping each other company can alleviate some of the guilt you feel by leaving them alone at home all day. Having two kittens also solves bedtime problems if you don't want to share your bed with them. They are more likely to be happy to snuggle up together in their own bed rather than yours. Kittens brought up together usually form a lifelong bond and as adults will enjoy each other's company.
