Feeding your kitten the right diet is vital for their growth and development.

Choose Quality Food: Look for high-quality kitten food rich in protein and nutrients.

Fresh Water: Make sure they always have fresh, clean water.

Feeding Schedule: Kittens need small, frequent meals throughout the day.

Litter Training Basics

Litter training your kitten can be straightforward with the right approach.

Start Early: Kittens usually learn quickly if introduced to a litter box early.

Keep the Box Clean: Cleanliness is key to encouraging regular use.

Location Matters: Place the litter box in a quiet, accessible location.

Health and Vet Visits

Regular vet visits are crucial to ensure your kitten's health.

Vaccinations: Schedule vaccines to protect against common diseases.

Deworming: Kittens need regular deworming to prevent intestinal parasites.

Spaying/Neutering: Consider spaying or neutering to improve health and prevent overpopulation.
