How to Take Care of a 6 Week Old Kitten
When you bring home a new kitten, one of the first things you’ll want to do is get them spayed or neutered. Not only will this help keep your home and neighbourhood clean, but it will also reduce the number of unwanted kittens that wind up in shelters. However, there are other important things you can do to take care of your new kitten from day one. This guide will teach you everything you need to know about taking care of a six week old kitten!

Keep Your Kitty Safe
From Injury First and foremost, make sure your cat stays safe from injury. Cats are naturally curious creatures, but they can be quite agile and quick when they want to be. If your cat happens to fall down the stairs or onto something sharp, getting them treated for cuts and bruises as soon as possible will help prevent any long-term damage. Also watch out for household hazards such as cords and broken pieces of furniture that could pose a danger to your kitty if they jump on or climb on top of them. -
Feed Them Properly
At Six Weeks Old Most cats require around 2/3 cup per day split into two meals (morning and evening). If their feeding schedule changes at all for example if they start eating twice daily give their food an extra 10-15 minutes before giving them their next meal in order to account for potential stomach upsets. Be sure not to overfeed your kitten though; underfeeding can lead to weight gain which can be unhealthy for both cats and humans alike! - Get Them Used To Being Around People And Other Pets
It’s important that your kitten gets used to being around people and other pets early on so that there are no unexpected incidents later on down the road. Start by gradually introducing them during supervised playtime; once they are comfortable with handling hands without getting scared or defensive, you can introduce more people into their life gradually until eventually Kitty is able live alone without fear or stress (although always supervise!). You should also consider boarding him/her with someone else during times when you’re away on vacation or out of town so he/she has plenty of human contact while staying in one place! - Give Them Adequate Exercise Every Day
Exercise is essential not just for keeping our furry friends healthy physically but mentally too! A tired kitty is less likely act out due to boredom or lack stimulation; provide plenty of toys, scratching posts, running spaces etc., so that every little bit counts when it comes time for playtime!
