Hello GUYS!
You've been soooo helpfull lately!!!!! Tahnk you so much for that! And again... I need some help!

As you know our family just got a little bigger with a tiny-black DSH babe!
He is soooooo adorable. But even for his age ( 6 weeks) soooo little! I can not wait to get him to the vet for a chek-up- I really hope he will be fine! And I have couple of questions- how many times does he need to eat per day. I know when kittens are little they eat up to 6 times per day!!! But ours just won't stop eating!!!!! Today I had to take him away from his little plate- cuz he started to look like a ball
on a tiny little legs!!!!
I hope there is nothing wrong with his stomach! Also when my bf got him from the shelter, they've told him that he is ok with wet kitten food and provided us with one can. Today I am going cat-shopping!
And I want to also add the same flavor and brand dry food so I can kind a mix it to make his teath stronger and I've also heard it is better for teath then wet food- is it true?
Another thing is - he's always asking for attention! Let's say I am taking a shower- he will be crying till I will pick him up and start playing with him! THEN he will be OK, purring and staff!
Let's say the door to our bedroom is closed( but we all in a living room) he will be crying till we will open it- he will go check it out and leave, crying for some love again! He just loves it when I pick him up- and NO! He doesn't want to sit in my hands( basicly IN ONE hand he is soooo little)- he wants to play with me. He is trying to bite and I was using sock- as you guys advised me- it is not interesting for him! Also he is trying to bite our glass-table!!!!!!
Is it OK????? ( he can not do a thing to a table just falls all the time undernith and get's mad)
Then he has a very very long claws ( that makes him fall when he is running on our carpet, which is veryy funny for us but probably very disturbing for him!) I am very against declowing- so I am going to buy cat-siccors today- is it OK if I will trim his claws? He is not too little for that? Now I promice I will be very very carefull- I've read a lot of threads on it here, guys!

I just do not know what to do- he is soooooo talkable- he already thinks I am his momma-cat- he lickes me and just does things that brings me a joe I had never expirienced before!

Back to the subject!
I really worry about him always meowing- every time I kind a guess what he wants- go to his litter box- if he is toooo far from it he starts acting crazy and crying till I'll pick him up and bring closer to it; when he wants to eat, to drink, to play with me, when he wants to sleep, or when we have to leave- we close him in my little girly room ( I put my make up there and staff)- and he just goes inscane!!!!!!!!!! Is everything ok with him??????
I really really worried ( and you should see my BF, he is just all over kitty and even put his little picture as a wallpaper on our PC and ON HIS cellphone!!!!!!
) I hope for your help guys and thank you again!
PS: I am so sorry if I duplicated some of the questions, I really thought I looked through everything possible to find my answers before I posted this! )

Check out this site. It has alot of great kitten advice.

A kitten that young needs constant attention because he should really still be with mama. I read through your other thread, that your bf for saving that cute kitty for me!

One thing I do when my little ones are feeling really needy. I take a towel or a blanket (something soft and cozy) and make a sling out of is by tying two corners together. I can then wear this over my head to keep the baby close to me but still have 2 hands free for other stuff. Being close to your heart is very soothing to a scared baby
