Why kitten months deserve their own pages
A kitten's first year is not just a smaller version of adult cat life. Very young kittens need warmth, close monitoring, safe handling, and veterinary guidance. Older kittens need play, structure, scratching options, and routines that help them become confident cats.
Use the month pages as a friendly starting point. For vaccines, feeding, parasites, weight concerns, and any health questions, your veterinarian should guide the details.
