Playful kitten time!

Kitten facts!

1. Whisker Fatigue: Kittens and cats can experience whisker fatigue when their sensitive whiskers are overstimulated. This can occur when they're in new or stimulating environments.

2. Kneading: Kittens knead with their paws, a behavior carried over from kittenhood when they knead their mother's belly to stimulate milk flow. It's a sign of comfort and contentment.

3. Unique Nose Prints: Just like human fingerprints, each kitten's nose has a unique pattern, making it an identifying feature.

4. Righting Reflex: Kittens are born with a remarkable righting reflex, which allows them to twist their bodies and land on their feet if they fall, often called the "cat righting reflex."

5. Incredible Agility: Kittens are incredibly agile and can jump up to six times their body length in a single leap, displaying their natural hunting abilities.

6. Playful Learning: Kittens play not just for fun but also to learn essential hunting skills. Their play mimics stalking, pouncing, and catching prey.

7. Whisker Direction: Kittens' whiskers are not only sensitive but also point in the direction they are looking. This helps them navigate in low light and confined spaces.

8. Ear Mobility: Kittens have remarkable ear mobility, with 32 muscles in each ear, allowing them to rotate their ears independently to capture sounds.

9. Rapid Growth: In the first few weeks of life, kittens grow at an astonishing rate, with their body weight doubling or even tripling within a matter of weeks.

10. Socialization Window: There's a critical socialization window for kittens, typically between 2 and 7 weeks of age, during which positive human interactions are crucial for their long-term social behavior.
