Hey everyone... new here. Just became the proud owner of my first kitten over the weekend. As such, I have a couple questions regarding the li'l cutie. She's about 6 weeks old.
1) The poor girl gets stuck on everything! Wherever she walks on our bed, on my shirt, the carpet, you name it. She tugs away as her claws are always getting caught in the fabric. Is this because she hasn't learned how to retract her claws or does she 'grow into them', thus covering them up from always being exposed?
2) All I've ever known are cats... never had/seen a kitten at this age. She makes this WEIRD NOISE! I've yet to hear her actually MEOW. The only way I can describe this noise is that she sounds like a dolphin. I've never heard anything like it and I've searched the net. I've seen chirping and chattering. It's not a chatter, cuz I've seen our older cat do that to birds on the balcony. And she seems to make this noise often. After waking up, just hangin' around, whatever... no specific time. Any thoughts?!
You guys have posted a lot of good information and hopefully someone has some insights into these two things for me. Thanks in advance!!
