Hi just a question... my friend's boyfriend just brought home a kitten for them (they just got a new house together)... and he got it from a pet store. They said he is 8 wks old... first of all, are they supposed to be seperated from their mom at that age? And he is only 1lb. Is that normal? I went over the other day and he is just so TINY. and he meows all the time... i just have a feeling he's either younger than they say or something. But again, I know nothing about kittens. Thanks!!
