One time I was sorting papers on the floor. She was sitting beside me and it all seemed cozy until she lunged at me and put her two front arms around my arm. She thumped me several times. I screamed and my husband came running. He put me in bed and I was sort of passed out and in shock. (Hard to explain) He almost took me to the ER. I still couldn't let her go. I think if I had another cat that bit, I'd follow the vet's instructions. Cat bites are so dangerous.

When they are eating moist food on their own. Typically a kitten can be weened by 8 weeks (you should not start weening them until they are 6 weeks old), taught to eat moist/solid food and box trained. It is recommended to wait until they are 9-10 weeks old to give them away.

as soon as they're eating soft, moist, canned food, and are using the litter box. One of my kittens was only a month when I got her, b/c she was doing all of the above. But, it's generally safer to wait almost 2 months. The mother cat wasn't working with her very well, so I became her mom. She's now 12 yrs and thinks she's a queen of the mansion.

Nine to ten weeks is best, our female cat was taken from her mother at about seven weeks which is far too soon, she is ten years old now and still can't lap water or milk without making a mess, we are sure her mother never had chance to teach her properly. her mum was a tray so she was born in under some old tin in a back garden, she still likes to get under things and hide.
