Today on Meet The Kittens, we're trying to find them!

0:00:320:00:36

Their mums, sisters Coco and Cleo, have hidden them

0:00:360:00:39

somewhere in the house! Where can they be?

0:00:390:00:41

Oh! There they are.

0:00:450:00:47

But why have they moved?

0:00:470:00:49

DRAMATIC MUSIC

0:00:490:00:50

Well, yesterday, the mums could sense a dog was nearby!

0:00:510:00:55

DOG PANTS

0:00:550:00:57

Dogs and cats don't always get on.

0:00:570:00:59

Sometimes dogs chase cats,

0:00:590:01:01

so that's why Coco and Cleo have moved the kittens downstairs.

0:01:010:01:06

After all that, the dog just went away. Phew!

0:01:060:01:11

BOING! BOING!

0:01:110:01:12

They're still little bundles of fur who can't see or hear,

0:01:120:01:16

so Cleo is on mum duty, feeding them and looking after them.

0:01:160:01:21

But where's their other mum, Coco?

0:01:210:01:25

Oh, there she is! Having a break from looking after all those kittens.

0:01:250:01:30

"Oh, I wonder when Coco will come back and give me some help.

0:01:300:01:34

"I need to stretch my legs."

0:01:340:01:37

Because the two mums are sharing looking after the kittens,

0:01:380:01:41

it means they each get turns outside.

0:01:410:01:45

"Eh, this Mummy business is right thirsty work!"

0:01:450:01:48

"I'm thirsty, too, Coco.

0:01:480:01:50

"Oh, I love the bones of them,

0:01:500:01:53

"and it's more important to make sure they're fed before I go outside."

0:01:530:01:58

-KITTEN VOICES:

-Yum, yum, yum! Yum, yum, yum!

0:01:580:02:01

Yum, yum, yum!

0:02:010:02:02

Yummy!

0:02:040:02:05

SLIDE WHISTLE

0:02:050:02:07

The kittens have had their milk and are asleep.

0:02:070:02:11

So, Cleo comes outside for a breath of fresh air.

0:02:110:02:16

"Lovely day."

0:02:160:02:18

"Oh, nice to get outside for a moment."

0:02:180:02:20

But before Cleo has time to catch her breath,

0:02:200:02:24

Coco is wanting to play games!

0:02:240:02:26

"Ha! Got ya." "Oh! Leave me alone, Coco."

0:02:260:02:30

"What? Don't you want to play?"

0:02:300:02:32

"Not now. You need to get back to them babies."

0:02:320:02:36

"OK. Back to our babies."

0:02:370:02:40

"Oh, look at them! All asleep.

0:02:410:02:44

"Oh, I hope they stay that way."

0:02:440:02:47

-KITTEN VOICE:

-Purrrrrr.

0:02:470:02:48

"Gives me time for a wash."

0:02:500:02:52

"And that's exactly what I'm doing

0:02:540:02:56

"while I have my break in the sunshine."

0:02:560:03:00

Cats are very, very clean animals, and they wash as often as they can.

0:03:000:03:06

Washing cleans dirt from their fur, clears away any tangled bits

0:03:060:03:10

and also gives a lovely shine to their coats.

0:03:100:03:13

It also helps them keep cool in the hot sunshine.

0:03:130:03:17

Now, some of our kittens have woken up, and they want Coco's milk.

0:03:190:03:25

Because the kittens' eyes are still closed, they have to use their sense

0:03:250:03:29

of smell to find where the milk is, and they're as thirsty as their mums.

0:03:290:03:35

-KITTEN VOICE:

-Yum, yum, yum, yum.

0:03:350:03:37

Yum, yum, yum.

0:03:370:03:39

Yum, yum, yum.

0:03:390:03:41

With their tummies full of milk,

0:03:410:03:43

everybody can have another good sleep.

0:03:430:03:46

Afterwards, Coco and Cleo have a big meal.

0:03:460:03:50

Both mums are eating more

0:03:520:03:54

because they have to produce milk for the kittens.

0:03:540:03:56

They're allowed meaty chunks, but the kittens must only have milk

0:03:560:04:01

until they're a bit older.

0:04:010:04:03

BOING! BOING!

0:04:030:04:04

The next morning, something wonderful happens!

0:04:060:04:10

The kittens open their eyes for the very first time.

0:04:100:04:15

"Meow! I can see with only one eye open!"

0:04:170:04:22

"Oh, what's this wonderful world? It's all blurry."

0:04:240:04:27

"I need a big stretch, then I want to see my brothers and sisters!"

0:04:310:04:35

KITTENS MEOW

0:04:360:04:37

"Oh, OK. Now I can see something bright and blue."

0:04:370:04:41

"Oh, Mummy!

0:04:430:04:46

"I can see your tummy! Oh! I forgot, my legs don't work!"

0:04:460:04:51

Cleo comes in to have a look.

0:04:530:04:57

"Oh, bless their little paws, they can see now."

0:04:570:05:01

Yes, Cleo, they're starting to grow!

0:05:010:05:04

But even though the kittens can now see some things,

0:05:040:05:07

they still can't hear, because their ears are still closed...

0:05:070:05:12

-KITTEN VOICE:

-Oof!

0:05:120:05:13

..and they certainly can't walk yet.

0:05:130:05:15

"Ah, I wish my ears would unfold, so I could hear Mum purring."

0:05:150:05:20

"And I wish I could walk, but it's very hard to move around like this!"

0:05:210:05:25

The kittens also need constant washing and cleaning.

0:05:270:05:31

They don't know how to go to the toilet yet.

0:05:310:05:34

Coco and Cleo wash them, and this helps them to wee.

0:05:340:05:38

That's what mothers do, feed them, wash them, clean them.

0:05:400:05:46

KITTEN MEOWS

0:05:500:05:52

But hang on, you two. Don't they look beautiful?

0:05:530:05:58

"Oh, of course they do!"

0:05:580:06:02

"They're our children!"

0:06:020:06:03

It's been an exciting day.

0:06:050:06:07

The kittens have seen the world around them for the first time.

0:06:070:06:11

Time for cuddles and sleep.

0:06:110:06:13

By cuddling, everyone stays warm, which is very

0:06:130:06:16

important for baby kittens, because they mustn't get cold and sick.

0:06:160:06:21

Goodbye, kittens. See you all next time.

0:06:210:06:26

SNORING

0:06:260:06:27

Having a kitten is a huge, time consuming responsibility,

0:06:280:06:32

and if you want an idea of exactly what's involved,
