Whats the best age to bring a kitten home?
The average age for people to get kittens is eight weeks. That age has its pros and cons. If the breeder knows what they are doing and the kittens are socialized correctly, that’s fine. But if the kittens don’t get that critical socialization by seven weeks of age, the brain starts shutting down. The kittens can still be socialized, but it will never be as good. So ask how much the kitten was handled before you got it. Q: If I get two kittens, will they become too attached to each other and ignore me? A: I recommend getting two kittens. Yes, they may be more focused on each other than on you, but they also can take their energy out – biting, scratching, fighting – on each other. Kittens have so much energy. If you don’t give them something to do, they’re going to find something to do. But if you get two kittens, separate them for periods of time each day so they get used to it, especially for feeding and play sessions with you.
