5 Ways to Give a Kitten a Good Start in Life

Introduction

Kittens are tiny bundles of love and joy, but they can also be fragile and delicate. While kittens are a joy to have around, it’s important to take care of them properly so that they can grow up healthy and happy. Here are five tips for giving your new kitten a good start in life:

1. Provide a calm, quiet environment

  • Provide a calm, quiet environment

Kittens are easily frightened and stressed by loud noises and sudden movements, so keep the kitten away from busy areas where there is lots of traffic and people moving about. It’s also important that you don’t let your kitten near anyone who has been sick recently or anyone who might be ill at this time because they can pass on germs that are harmful to your kitten. In addition, try to ensure that all visitors wash their hands before handling the kitten – this will make sure that any harmful bacteria does not get passed to them!

It is also important for kittens not to be exposed to cigarette smoke as well as second-hand smoke (the kind breathed out by smokers). This is because both these types of smoke have chemicals in them which can cause health problems later on down the track such as lung cancer so it’s best just avoid exposing them entirely if possible!

2. Keep them warm and snuggly

Kittens are born with a thin layer of fur, which they’ll lose in their first week or so. Without fur, kittens can get cold very easily—especially if you don’t have them snuggled up close to something warm.

Because kittens are still developing and growing, it’s important to keep them warm during this time to avoid hypothermia (when body temperature drops below 97° F). This means keeping the room where your kitten is kept at about 70° F during the day and 60° F at night; 80% humidity; no drafty areas; and plenty of bedding like towels that you warmed up in the dryer. You may also want to invest in a heated bed for your little one as well!

If it’s too hot out or too cold where you’re living right now, try using an air conditioner or heater respectively until things settle down again. You might also want to consider getting some sweaters for kittens—they make excellent snuggling material!

3. Provide proper nutrition

  • Provide proper nutrition

It’s important to feed kittens a high quality kitten food, as it will be easier for them to digest and can help prevent chronic diarrhea. Typically, this means feeding them 3-4 times a day using small amounts of food that are moistened with water or kitten formula (if you have access to it). You can also use wet cat food if it’s available and affordable in your area.

If you’re having trouble affording kitten food or know someone who wants to take care of your baby but doesn’t have the money for premium products, we recommend feeding high quality adult cat food instead! It will still give them all the nutrients they need while being more affordable than specialty formulas designed specifically for young cats’ digestion systems.

Never give puppies or dogs human foods such as chocolate cake or macaroni & cheese because they contain ingredients which aren’t safe for animals—and don’t worry: there’s no reason why dogs would crave broccoli either!

4. Keep the area safe and clean

When you bring home a new kitten, it’s important to keep the area safe and clean. Kittens are curious and will explore their surroundings. They may also be drawn to items they find intriguing. It is important that no toxic substances or dangerous items are left within reach of your kitten.

  • Keep cleaning supplies stored safely out of reach
  • Make sure all doors leading outside are securely closed so your kitten cannot escape
  • Place sharp objects such as scissors and knives out of reach
  • Keep your cat litter box in an area where no one can step on it accidentally

5. Play with them!

Play with them!

Kittens are like babies in many ways, and one of these ways is that they need to play. They need to interact with their environment, with other cats and kittens, and most importantly—with you. All of this plays an important role in helping your kitten develop into a healthy adult cat. If you have children or other pets at home, make sure they know how to interact safely with the kitten so that no one gets hurt during this time.
