Kittens
- During a female cat’s life, she can have more than 100 kittens.
- A litter of kittens do not necessarily all come from the same father.
- The record for a 100% surviving litter was 14 kittens - the mother’s name was Bluebell and she was a Persian cat.
- Kittens are born with a full set of teeth that fall out and get replaces just like a humans’!
- Your kitten needs sleep to help it get bigger - its growth hormones are only released whilst it is asleep!
- Kittens hate dirty litter boxes and will often refuse to use them.
- When a kitten is first born, its heart beats around 250 times a minute.
- Most kittens are born with blue eyes - it is only when they are exposed to light that they change colour!
- It has been proven that kittens do dream when they’re asleep.
- Important advice - don’t feed your kitten grapes or raisins - they can cause kidney failure.
