Bonding With Your Kitten

As well as feeding, stimulating and keeping your kitten clean and warm, it's important to spend some quality time with him. Hold him, pat him, talk to him, and offer him cuddles and other things that a kitten enjoys. If the kitten is newborn or very young, just holding him close to you and talking to him will do the world of good.

The Pouch Potato mentioned earlier is very useful as you can carry your kitten around with you. It reassures him that you are close and he is calmed by the beating of your heart and the rhythm of your breathing. This pouch is a real asset, especially if you are caring for more than one newborn kitten.
