THEY MEOW

MEOW

0:00:280:00:30

Today, all the kittens are trying to get milk at the same time,

0:00:350:00:39

but there are 11 kittens and only one of the mums, Coco, is here,

0:00:390:00:43

and she only has eight teats.

0:00:430:00:45

So, the first lesson of today is that 11 into eight doesn't go.

0:00:450:00:50

Having been shoved out of the way by the bigger ones,

0:00:500:00:52

the three smallest ones have to wait. It's a real squash.

0:00:520:00:57

-COCO:

-Squash? Who said anything about squash?

0:00:570:01:00

It's only milk here, kittens.

0:01:000:01:04

The kittens' eyes are now wide open.

0:01:040:01:07

I'm going to be on telly.

0:01:070:01:09

Their ears are still shut and they can't walk properly,

0:01:110:01:13

but they're still very curious.

0:01:130:01:15

Hi, Mum. Just seeing if there's any milk in your ears.

0:01:170:01:21

-SNIFFS

-This is tiring.

0:01:210:01:24

I think I'll join my brothers and sisters and have a sleep.

0:01:250:01:29

SNORING SOUNDS

0:01:290:01:34

Excuse me.

0:01:350:01:37

I'm so tired I've gone to sleep standing up.

0:01:380:01:42

The big kittens are asleep now,

0:01:460:01:48

so it's the smaller kittens' turn to feed.

0:01:480:01:50

About time too, I'm starving. Now, where's that teat?

0:01:520:01:57

Cleo, the other mum, arrives to see what's going on.

0:01:570:02:02

-CLEO:

-I'm here with more milk, yes. Timed it purr-fectly.

0:02:020:02:06

They're all asleep.

0:02:060:02:08

That saved my teats getting a munching.

0:02:080:02:11

KITTENS SNORE

0:02:110:02:13

ENGINE STARTS

0:02:130:02:16

The cats get a rude awakening when they hear a noise outside.

0:02:160:02:20

-CLEO:

-I don't know what that noise is, but I'll go and check it out,

0:02:200:02:24

just in case it's dangerous.

0:02:240:02:26

-CLEO:

-I hope it's not the Hoover.

0:02:260:02:28

Look at the way I blend in with the carpet. It'll suck me up, for sure.

0:02:280:02:32

It's nothing to worry about, it's just the lawnmower.

0:02:320:02:36

-COCO:

-I know what a lawnmower can do to a cat, I've seen Tom And Jerry.

0:02:360:02:39

That's it. I'm going to move the kittens.

0:02:390:02:42

Coco and Cleo are putting the kittens under the stairs for safety.

0:02:430:02:47

This is how cats carry the kittens, by the scruff of the neck.

0:02:500:02:53

It might look painful, but it doesn't hurt a bit.

0:02:530:02:56

How do you know?

0:02:570:02:59

Have you ever been carried around by the scruff of your neck?

0:02:590:03:02

All the kittens are safe and sound now, under the stairs.

0:03:060:03:09

I just hope this isn't where they keep the lawnmower.

0:03:140:03:18

The kittens are now three weeks old.

0:03:190:03:22

Three weeks? Do we get a birthday cake?

0:03:220:03:25

And they're twice as big as when they were born.

0:03:250:03:28

Luckily, they don't keep growing at that rate or they'd be

0:03:280:03:31

the size of elephants by Christmas.

0:03:310:03:32

It's time to get the kittens weighed and one of their owners'

0:03:380:03:40

children is going to help.

0:03:400:03:42

As she's going to be touching the kittens, it's really important

0:03:420:03:45

she has clean hands, so she doesn't pass on any germs.

0:03:450:03:48

But, look, I think Mary Berry could be helping out.

0:03:530:03:56

The kittens are going to be weighed in a bowl.

0:03:560:03:58

That's a bit random.

0:03:580:04:00

Wee-hee. Is that you mean by being weighed?

0:04:000:04:03

Each kitten is brought over, one by one.

0:04:050:04:07

I hope you're going to wash this before you make any more cakes.

0:04:100:04:13

If you start adding flour and butter, I'm out of here.

0:04:150:04:18

The kittens are being weighed for two reasons.

0:04:190:04:22

Firstly, to make sure they're growing properly and secondly, they need

0:04:220:04:25

special worming medicine and the correct amount is decided by weight.

0:04:250:04:30

Believe it or not, most kittens are born with worms inside them.

0:04:300:04:34

This medicine is good for both nursing cats and their kittens.

0:04:340:04:38

It might do us good but it doesn't taste good.

0:04:380:04:40

And all 11 kittens are going to get some.

0:04:400:04:44

Yeah, good luck with that(!)

0:04:440:04:46

Yuck.

0:04:480:04:50

Pff. Pff. Pff. Pff. Pff.

0:04:520:04:54

Three words re-pul-sive.

0:04:560:04:57

I better get a treat for taking this.

0:05:000:05:02

Hashtag, disgusting.

0:05:050:05:06

This is cruel. I'm calling the RSPCA.

0:05:080:05:11

Yuck. It taste likes broccoli.

0:05:120:05:14

As soon as you're not looking,

0:05:160:05:18

this is coming back up again.

0:05:180:05:20

This is the worst thing I've ever tasted in my life -

0:05:200:05:22

all three weeks of it.

0:05:220:05:25

I was hoping they'd have run out by now.

0:05:250:05:29

Coco's turn next. It's vital that she has the medicine as well because,

0:05:290:05:33

if she gets worms, she could pass them on to the kittens in her milk.

0:05:330:05:37

-COCO:

-Even I think this is revolting and I eat fish heads and mice guts.

0:05:370:05:41

And last, but not least, Cleo.

0:05:410:05:43

-CLEO:

-Oh, well, at least I won't get worms

0:05:430:05:46

and have poop that looks like spaghetti.

0:05:460:05:48

Wow. Check this out.

0:05:500:05:53

The kittens are trying to walk for the very first time.

0:05:530:05:56

Is it left-right-left-right, or left-left-right-right?

0:05:560:06:00

Or left-right-right-left? Oh, this is so complicated.

0:06:000:06:03

Oh, no. I'm going backwards now.

0:06:050:06:08

-Oh, right.

-Let's try it together.

0:06:100:06:14

Time to start walking.

0:06:140:06:16

Me? How? Me, how? Meow, get it?

0:06:160:06:20

I might not be able to walk but I can make jokes.

0:06:200:06:23

As well as their eyes being wide open, now their ears are unfolded,

0:06:230:06:27

but mostly they still rely on their sense of smell.

0:06:270:06:31

Uh, this carpet smells of cats.

0:06:310:06:33

Someone else's eyes are wide open as well.

0:06:400:06:42

Cleo is watching them like a hawk.

0:06:420:06:45

-CLEO:

-No, I'm not. I'm a cat, so I'm watching them like a cat.

0:06:450:06:49

I'd only be watching them like a hawk if I were a hawk.

0:06:490:06:52

Where do CBBC get these people?

0:06:530:06:56

Mam! Mam! Mam!

0:06:560:06:58

-Mam!

-COCO:

-I'm here, what do you want?

0:06:590:07:02

-Oh, I've forgotten.

-Come on, stop messing about. Get walking.

0:07:020:07:05

Look, I'll show you again.

0:07:050:07:07

Look at them moving about.

0:07:100:07:12

I had trouble telling them apart before,

0:07:120:07:14

it's going to be impossible now they're walking.

0:07:140:07:16

-CLEO:

-Come on, let's get you back to safety.

0:07:160:07:20

Oh, sorry son. Dropped you. My bad. Whoops. Dropped you again, soz.

0:07:200:07:25

I thought I was getting a carry, not a drag.

0:07:250:07:27

It's a good job I've got nine lives.

0:07:270:07:29

If mum's going to carry me like that, I think I'll have another

0:07:290:07:32

go at learning to walk. Here goes. How do I do it, again?

0:07:320:07:37

Let me sit down and have a think.

0:07:370:07:40

Well, that's it for now.

0:07:400:07:42

MEOW See you next time, kittens.

0:07:420:07:45

Having a kitten is a huge, time-consuming responsibility

0:07:480:07:52

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