Warm-Up

A kitten is a juvenile domesticated cat. The word "kitten" is a combination of Middle English and Old French. After being born, kittens are totally dependent on their mother for survival and do not normally open their eyes until after seven to ten days. After about two weeks, kittens quickly develop and begin to explore the world outside the nest. After a further three to four weeks, they began to eat solid food and grow adult teeth. Kittens are highly social animals and enjoy human companionship. Kittens in developed societies are usually vaccinated against common illnesses.
