Get a few toys he can chase round ones on a fishing rods they love them and keep your toes covered up because they will "play" when you twitch!:lol:

The clawing is totally normal hun,
They also like to jump up and cling to your leg when you least expect it..
Like walking down the stairs half asleep first thing of a morning :green:,
He will have playfighted a lot with his bro's and sisters, its their main form of entertainment...
I know mine will even fight imaginary objects...wiggling their little bums, then pouncing at absolutely nothing !
How come you have him so early ?
I re-homed my 3 last night...we have kept one of them.
Dave his name is
....
So a grand total of 5 cats for me now...~~Emms shakes head~~
If he needs spoon feeding still...continue to do it,
But say for instance you are holding him on your knee to do it, gradually bring him closer and closer down to the bowl, with the spoon,
Eventually just place the spoon onto the bowl so he can get used to feeding properly hun.
I found my kitten in my sac of dog food last night.....a 15kg bag of dog food lol...He was having a whale of a time :lol:

Ok I am dreading giving you my reply now lmao...
BUT.... yes he will learn to amuse himself....he will rip all of your wallpaper and climb your curtains of course !!! :green:
Only Joking hun,
But he will be fine, one of the ladies we have just given a kitten to has a little babies play frame (one of them with the little dangly bits on, that they lay under) for the kitten,
I think Its a fab idea !
6 weeks is a little young mabey, I have always let mine be re-homed at 8 weeks,
I think if your circumstances and family etc..allow
getting another kitten may be a good idea ( thats the bit I was dreading lol)
Thats a personal thing though hun, I just like the thought of them having a play mate lol.
My two eldest kittens are sisters and they do EVERYTHING together...eat, drink .sleep and play out and come back in at the same time,
Its cute.
But tonnes and tonnes of people only have 1 cat with no problems,
As long as he is somewhere safe where he can come to NO harm (coz they get everywhere the little horrors)
He has food and water and toys to occupy him, he will be a happy bunny! (well kitty)
These are only my oppinions from my experiences with all my kittens though hun, I am in no way a professional cat person :lol:

Congrats on your new kitten:hug:
I've always had two together, normally sister and brother but I now have one cat and one dog.
Frey had a sister up until about 3 years ago and I'm thankful that we already had Trixie because it helped Frey to get over loosing her:cry:
Just a couple of points for you, if you get another one as already said, do it soon:lol: and please get your cat neutered as soon as possible, its thought that around 70% of un neutered cats have feline aids and its a horrible way for you to loose your cat, also un neutered toms fight all the time, which means repeated trips to the vets for infected bites and scratches and neutered toms live longer and have a much nicer nature. Frey's fav toy is a stick with a piece of elastic tied to it, and the other end is tied to a small soft ball and a large fluffy feather. He's 10 and makes us laugh when he pounces it because he always trys to be so cool about it:green:
