0:00:30 > 0:00:32Meow.

0:00:34 > 0:00:38Last time, the kittens were just learning how to walk,

0:00:38 > 0:00:40but look at them now!

0:00:40 > 0:00:44They're a little shaky, but they're all up for exploring.

0:00:44 > 0:00:47They're getting to know their world and one another.

0:00:47 > 0:00:50# Getting to know you

0:00:50 > 0:00:53# Getting to feel free and easy

0:00:56 > 0:00:59# When I am with you

0:00:59 > 0:01:01# Getting to know what to say

0:01:05 > 0:01:11# Haven't you noticed that suddenly I'm bright and breezy?

0:01:13 > 0:01:19# Because of all the beautiful and new

0:01:19 > 0:01:22# Things I'm learning about you

0:01:23 > 0:01:26# Day by day. #

0:01:33 > 0:01:36But, what's this thing?

0:01:36 > 0:01:39Mum Coco's been outside investigating.

0:01:39 > 0:01:43There are cables everywhere and strangers in the house.

0:01:43 > 0:01:46There's been a leak!

0:01:46 > 0:01:49Water is coming in from a hole in the roof,

0:01:49 > 0:01:51so Coco goes to tell Cleo

0:01:51 > 0:01:54that the kittens will have to be moved again.

0:01:54 > 0:01:57While the workers repair the hole in the roof,

0:01:57 > 0:02:00the kittens are moved back to their old place.

0:02:01 > 0:02:06Carrying 11 kittens downstairs was exhausting!

0:02:06 > 0:02:10Most of them are curled up with their mum Coco asleep.

0:02:10 > 0:02:12But these two are still awake

0:02:12 > 0:02:15and they want some milk from Mum Cleo.

0:02:15 > 0:02:17Yum, yum, yum.

0:02:17 > 0:02:21- Yummy, yummy, yum. - Yum, yum, yum, yum.

0:02:21 > 0:02:23Poor Cleo.

0:02:23 > 0:02:26She's falling asleep while the two kittens feed.

0:02:26 > 0:02:28But when everyone wakes up,

0:02:28 > 0:02:32they're going to discover a whole new playground.

0:02:37 > 0:02:40There are things to crawl under.

0:02:40 > 0:02:42Oh, what's this?

0:02:42 > 0:02:44It's a scratching post.

0:02:44 > 0:02:47You can try out your claws!

0:02:47 > 0:02:51That's a bucket.

0:02:51 > 0:02:55- Eww!- There are stairs that are too scary and steep!

0:02:56 > 0:02:59And there are some stairs which are...

0:02:59 > 0:03:01phew..

0:03:01 > 0:03:05just about OK to climb.

0:03:05 > 0:03:07There are things to bite.

0:03:07 > 0:03:10But not my tail!

0:03:11 > 0:03:14Round, funny, furry things.

0:03:14 > 0:03:18Hey! I don't think you should be in the laundry basket!

0:03:18 > 0:03:21I'm off.

0:03:21 > 0:03:22So am I.

0:03:24 > 0:03:28Leaving their kittens to have fun exploring, mums Coco and Cleo

0:03:28 > 0:03:30take a walk in the garden.

0:03:30 > 0:03:33They don't get much time to see outside

0:03:33 > 0:03:38because looking after the kittens takes up almost all their time.

0:03:38 > 0:03:40Oh, no, looks like rain.

0:03:40 > 0:03:42I know.

0:03:42 > 0:03:45I'll give you a wash before we go back in.

0:03:45 > 0:03:47Oh, that's nice.

0:03:47 > 0:03:49Oh, keep on doing that.

0:03:49 > 0:03:53D'you know? I could stay here all day.

0:03:53 > 0:03:54But we'd better get back

0:03:54 > 0:03:57and see how the kittens are getting on.

0:03:57 > 0:04:00OK, sis. Come on, let's go.

0:04:00 > 0:04:02Their kittens are fine.

0:04:02 > 0:04:05They're about to learn a new game.

0:04:10 > 0:04:13It's called play fighting.

0:04:13 > 0:04:17It looks as if they're hurting each other, but they aren't.

0:04:17 > 0:04:19The kittens are not only playing for fun -

0:04:19 > 0:04:22they're learning as well.

0:04:25 > 0:04:28They use their claws, but not to hurt,

0:04:28 > 0:04:31as they practice hunting and chasing -

0:04:31 > 0:04:34skills they'll need as adult cats.

0:04:37 > 0:04:41Their teeth are starting to come through as well.

0:04:41 > 0:04:42Meow!

0:04:44 > 0:04:46Meow!

0:04:48 > 0:04:49I'm off.

0:04:49 > 0:04:53Oh, come on. I want to play some more.

0:04:54 > 0:04:59The next morning, the owner has discovered fleas on mum Cleo.

0:04:59 > 0:05:01They're very hard to see,

0:05:01 > 0:05:03but that little black lump

0:05:03 > 0:05:06on the corner of her ear is a horrible flea.

0:05:06 > 0:05:08Can you see it?

0:05:08 > 0:05:10Fleas spread disease,

0:05:10 > 0:05:13so the owner must act straight away.

0:05:14 > 0:05:18He puts on some gloves and sprays Cleo with a special spray

0:05:18 > 0:05:20that is safe for mothers and kittens

0:05:20 > 0:05:23and will get rid of the fleas.

0:05:23 > 0:05:27The spray makes her wet, which she doesn't like.

0:05:27 > 0:05:31Cats don't like getting wet.

0:05:31 > 0:05:35And to make sure the fleas don't spread,

0:05:35 > 0:05:37everyone must be sprayed.

0:05:44 > 0:05:48Oh! I'm all wet from the spray.

0:05:48 > 0:05:50So is everyone else,

0:05:50 > 0:05:54but we have to do it to make fleas go away.

0:05:54 > 0:05:57Mum Coco has been hiding,

0:05:57 > 0:06:00but she has to have the treatment as well.

0:06:00 > 0:06:03Yeah. Well, thank you very much. I'm off.

0:06:05 > 0:06:06All done.

0:06:06 > 0:06:09Now everybody's clean and dry.

0:06:09 > 0:06:10Guess what?

0:06:10 > 0:06:13Yes, they're sleeping again.

0:06:13 > 0:06:15Kittens have bursts of energy

0:06:15 > 0:06:18but then they sleep for ages.

0:06:18 > 0:06:22Often, young kittens are only awake for four hours a day.

0:06:22 > 0:06:25Well, you can never have too much sleep,

0:06:25 > 0:06:29especially when you're a growing kitten,

0:06:29 > 0:06:32or even if you're a tired mum.

0:06:32 > 0:06:34SNORING

0:06:39 > 0:06:43Having a kitten is a huge, time-consuming responsibility

0:06:43 > 0:06:46and, if you want an idea of exactly what's involved,
