any cat or kitten from 6 months and up in age is able to be spayed/neutered. I suggest doing so if you dont want more kittens or spraying issuses in your house. I am told once a cat starts to spray he will never stop most likely from the amonia smell that is in the places where they have peed they keep goig back. if ur kittie goes outside of the box or u catch them in acorner ready to go grab em and put them in the litter box so they know. Sometimes too you might have to get a smaller litter box for the kitten until they can get in and out of the regular sized ones. Also shots for kittens go 6wks for the 1st booster and then usually 1-2 months up till the 3rd distemper booster shot and then 1 a yr and rabies have to wait unti lthe kittie is 1 yr and then every yr take them for both of their shots

The first answer is very good. You should also know about behavior training. Purchase a clawing post and when caught clawing the furniture.. put them on the clawing post. A squirt bottle of water is good for training to keep them away from clawing the furniture, climbing up the drapes and getting up on tables etc. Do not bathe a cat more than once a month, and flea collars should only be used after 3 mo. old. Don't give a cat milk regularly after 3 months old as it causes diarrea. They do fine with water. Long haired cats should be combed daily during molting season to curtail hairballs in their stomach.
