This mat caught my eye because of its size and texture, which traps fine litter rather well. It's large enough for jumbo litterboxes, which is also a plus. It's not quite as easy to clean as a...

This is the worst litter I have ever tried in my life. The cats don't care, but I do - it stinks to high heaven and doesn't clump at all like it claims.

No, this is only true of birds as far as I know. Kittens can be handled from the time they come out. This is unless of course the mother takes your hand off while trying. When they are within the first weeks, I would limit it to petting and talking to them. Make sure if you have contact with other cats that you wash your hands before playing though. Young kittens are very vulnerable at an early age. When they are a few weeks old you really do want to pick them up and cuddle them, it helps to socialize them and make them love humans and not fear them.
