When our kittens are 3 1/2 weeks of age, we start feeding them a safe, soft food that is very digestible for kittens. We make sure that all of our cats/kittens are fed only safe and nutritious foods that are grain-free, as well as Nu-Vet Vitamins every day. We make certain that our kittens are eating sufficiently , are a good weight, and well litter trained before leaving our care at 10-12 weeks of age. At 8 weeks of age, we start slowly and lovingly bathing and blow drying our kittens. They are combed each day to ensure that their coats don't become knotted, stay beautiful, and they are cooperative with their grooming habits when they join their new families. When you bathe and groom regularly, it is a wonderful time for the kittens to become more trusting when handled. The kittens begin to react to their grooming habits with a calm and comforted response. +xxxxxxxxxxx
