If she is an only kitten...you may want to get her a buddy at some point.

Katie
my neighbor and I both adopted a two and half week old kitten from a litter when they were found between the fences in his big backyard, before the rest were taken to a shelter. I felt very bad after reading that they should not be seperated at such young age. Even though I spend several hours a day everyday just to be with mine, I can tell that there's not much I can interest her, besides feeding, petting, and play scratch and bite with her. (Oh, she DOES like to climb on me and rub her face on mine while we hang out in her nursery.) She's not interested in little colorful balls nor fish rod toys. She has a beanie baby fish, which she sleeps and bites.
I will try to visit my neighbor more often - we are good friends - and my question is, how much time should I leave my kitten to play with theirs in order for them both to be, less lonely? I also have another friend who has an older female cat at home and she is tender by character, too. Should I try to bring my kitten to meet this older cat so she could have certain "role model?"
sincerely,
