Kitten

In 1952 a 17-year-old Bonham, Texas, cat named Dusty set a Guinness record by giving birth to her 420th kitten.

A 4-year-old Burmese cat named Tarawood in Church Westcote, England, gave birth to 19 kittens in 1970, history's largest kitty litter. Fifteen survived.

All kittens are born with blue eyes.

Young kittens meow to let their mother know they're cold or hungry, By around three to four weeks of age kittens don't mew when at least one littermate is present, and at four to five months of age kittens stop mewing to other cats altogether.


Kittens knead their mom's belly to stimulate milk production, so adult cats that knead have simply retained this juvenile trait.

Sucking kittens prefer not to share treats and "nametag" their preferred supply source with their own scent. But when not suckling, mums use other cats as babysitters.

Kittens spend most of their waking hours interacting with available animals and playing on their own.

In just seven years, a single pair of cats and their offspring could produce a total of 420,000 kittens.
