Kittens are young cats, typically less than one year old. They are known for their playful and curious nature, often exploring their surroundings with enthusiasm. Kittens are born blind and deaf, but they quickly develop their senses and begin to walk and play within a few weeks. As they grow, kittens learn important social skills from their mother and littermates. They are usually weaned from their mother's milk around eight weeks old and can start eating solid food. Kittens require proper care, including vaccinations and a balanced diet, to ensure healthy development into adulthood.
