What to Know About Your Kitten's First Year
The first year of a cat's life, often called kittenhood, plays a critical role in shaping behavior, health, and overall quality of life.
Early awareness often leads to:
- Fewer behavioral challenges
- Stronger bonds between you and your kitten
- Lower veterinary costs over time
Birth to 8 Weeks: Crucial Care
This period lays the foundation for physical health, behavior, and emotional resilience. Kittens not properly socialized may develop fear-based or aggressive behaviors.
3 to 6 Months: Sexual Maturation
Benefits of spaying/neutering by five months include:
- Preventing unwanted litters
- Reducing roaming behavior
- Minimizing hormone-driven aggression
