his siblings. At this time he can begin to learn to use the
litter box and should start to become a social animal. In the
wild, the kitten's mother will start to supplement his diet with

mother, but they aren't dead anymore. Instead, the kitten has to
learn to hunt the animal. Those who are eight weeks old will be
completely weaned from their mother and are ready to go to a new
home.
The Next Months
Through the next several months, the cats will grow really fast.

just like children, right? This will happen around the fifth to
