any important tips or things to remember on taking care of a kitten and its food, shelter, anything?? thank u!Please provide tips and advice on how to take care of a kitten?
WELL, when you first bring the kitten into the house, let him explore, and be sure that the litterbox is in sight, or, even put the kitten in the litterbox, place the food and water somewhere near the litterbox, but not within kicking distance. i recommend a yard stick or 2 away. after the cat recognizes where the food water and litterbox is, he may dissappear for a day or 2. he will be frightened of his new sorroundings and may decide to hang out under your daughters bed, just be sure to put some dirty shirts under (ones that smell like the members of your family, not greasy ones) the bed, and let him sleep with that. eventually your kitten will come out of his hiding spot and come see you. NEVER EVER FORCE A KITTEN OUT OF THEIR HIDING PLACE, you may need to let the children know that they shouldnt touch him at all. dont even approach him. he will approach you when the time comes. in the meantime, you may want to teach the members of the family how to do the kitten shuffle. it consists of shuffling your feet across the floor rather than lifting your feet and making strides. kittens tend to dart around, and even the slightest pressure on a kitty can kill him. another tip, if the kitty decides to hang out under the bed DO NOT bring the litter and food in there, otherwise he will get used to it being there and potentially poop and pee there. as well as starve because he cannot find his food or water.Please provide tips and advice on how to take care of a kitten?

i recently got a kitten too. when theyre really small, hide any wires to any thing expensive. and in food, dont switch to any other cat food or theyl get sick and gassy. and if its going to be home alone, make sure it has PLENTY of toys to play with if you dont want it getting in your stuff. good luck!
depend on how old and small.


my cat had kittens like 6 weeks ago.


there weaned and we take harde kitten food and moisten it with water and moosh it up and then feed it.


we have a little area for them when we're not around that they cant get out of


you should show it there litter box and put them in it just to show them so they know its there.


and feed it a 2 -3 times a day and give it fresh water.


and make sure you play with it and gice it alot of atention ;)
