kitty with my husky!

anyother thing
is it ok to leave them in the house while i go out?

I know my answers to these and they are all safety and consideration to the kitten based (welcome by the way, lol)

1) Shouldnt leave until 13 weeks old. Make sure the kitten is properly weaned as weaning normally only starts at about 5 week old. Most domestic kittens are sold at 8 weeks old but in my personal opinion that is not old enough.

2) Please don't he/she might end up as roadkill. You do not want your treasured new pet squashed by a car. You can cat proof your garden/yard so they can not escape if you want them to get out in the fresh air or build a run.

3) Injections can be done at 9 week and 12 week, or 10 week and 13 week depending on your payday, lol. 9 weeks is the youngest that a vet will do them.

4) Certainly and I would recommend it. If a kitten has neven known an outdoor life it will not know any difference. That way the cat will not be squashed on the road, climb inside a car and get mushed by the car's fan, get killed by a fox or big aggressive dog, poisoned by gardeners pellets, catch fleas, lice etc., or if you buy a pedigree cat get stolen. Think that covers most of the risks

Hope this helps

Sure is lass, I work full time. Just give them plenty of toys, puzzles, scratching poles, etc. and they might just leave your wallpaper alone. Always good to have at least two for companionship

i brought my husky up as, when i go out she has to go in her cage as she ripped my house up badly! but she tends to like it in there plus i dont work, so i only really got out for about the max 4 hours, but i have brought lots of toys and stuff.
