0:00:03 > 0:00:05Meow!

0:00:05 > 0:00:07Meow!

0:00:07 > 0:00:11ALL THE KITTENS MEOW TOGETHER

0:00:17 > 0:00:19Mew, mew.

0:00:22 > 0:00:24Meow!

0:00:28 > 0:00:30Meow!

0:00:30 > 0:00:32Meow!

0:00:32 > 0:00:34The last time we saw them, the 11

0:00:34 > 0:00:37kittens were just learning how to walk.

0:00:37 > 0:00:39But look at them now! They're moving

0:00:39 > 0:00:40around like Usain Bolt.

0:00:40 > 0:00:44Well... Usain Bolt with a broken leg.

0:00:45 > 0:00:48What are all those towels for? I can't imagine

0:00:48 > 0:00:51every kitten in this house is going to get wet!

0:00:51 > 0:00:53Oh, you just wait and see.

0:00:58 > 0:01:02The kittens are excited by everything that's going on.

0:01:02 > 0:01:08And it looks like someone's put the tennis on the telly.

0:01:08 > 0:01:10Come on, Andy Murray.

0:01:10 > 0:01:12Come on, Andy Murray.

0:01:15 > 0:01:18Only 26 more to go before I get upstairs.

0:01:20 > 0:01:22THE KITTEN GROANS AND STRUGGLES

0:01:22 > 0:01:28Now I'm here, I've forgotten what I came up the stairs for.

0:01:28 > 0:01:31Got you. It's bath time.

0:01:31 > 0:01:34One down, ten to go.

0:01:35 > 0:01:39Hey, I'm going to jump!

0:01:39 > 0:01:42Yay! Whoops.

0:01:43 > 0:01:46Epic fail!

0:01:48 > 0:01:50Uh-oh! This doesn't look good.

0:01:50 > 0:01:54One of the mums, Coco, has been outside investigating.

0:01:54 > 0:01:58There are cables everywhere and strangers in the house.

0:01:58 > 0:02:00There's been a leak.

0:02:00 > 0:02:03Water is coming in through a hole in the roof, so

0:02:03 > 0:02:05Coco tells the other mum, Cleo,

0:02:05 > 0:02:09the kittens will have to be moved back to their old place.

0:02:09 > 0:02:13Carrying 11 kittens downstairs was exhausting.

0:02:13 > 0:02:17They're now curled up asleep with their mums.

0:02:17 > 0:02:22Except these two. And if they're not sleepy, they must be hungry.

0:02:22 > 0:02:26Yep. Thought so.

0:02:26 > 0:02:29Mind you, feeding a kid isn't going to

0:02:29 > 0:02:31stop Cleo getting some sleep.

0:02:31 > 0:02:33But when the kittens wake up,

0:02:33 > 0:02:35they're going to discover

0:02:35 > 0:02:37a whole new playground.

0:02:44 > 0:02:47They've got things to crawl under.

0:02:47 > 0:02:51- A scratching post. - We don't need a scratching post!

0:02:51 > 0:02:54That's what the furniture is for... and the owner's arms.

0:02:54 > 0:02:56Oh, well, I'll give it a go.

0:02:56 > 0:02:59There's also a bucket.

0:02:59 > 0:03:01That'll be handy for the leak.

0:03:01 > 0:03:03I'm not going down that!

0:03:03 > 0:03:06I'm a kitten, not a slinky.

0:03:06 > 0:03:09Going up isn't much easier.

0:03:09 > 0:03:11How many more of these are there?

0:03:11 > 0:03:1326?

0:03:13 > 0:03:16There are things to bite.

0:03:16 > 0:03:19That's a bit hard when you've got brand-new teeth.

0:03:19 > 0:03:23I'll think I'll look for something easier to chew.

0:03:23 > 0:03:25Found it!

0:03:25 > 0:03:28I wonder what this round tube's called?

0:03:28 > 0:03:30And there's even a round tube.

0:03:30 > 0:03:32Oh, a round tube...

0:03:32 > 0:03:34Thanks.

0:03:34 > 0:03:37This is my favourite. What's this one called?

0:03:37 > 0:03:39That's the laundry basket.

0:03:39 > 0:03:43- That's where they put clothes that need cleaning.- I'm out of here.

0:03:43 > 0:03:48I don't want to go in the washing machine.

0:03:48 > 0:03:51Leaving the kittens to play, mums Coco and Cleo take

0:03:51 > 0:03:53a walk in the garden.

0:03:53 > 0:03:56Being busy mums, they don't get out much nowadays.

0:03:56 > 0:03:59I've been waiting ages for that deer to run

0:03:59 > 0:04:02- away so I can chase after it. - As I said, they

0:04:02 > 0:04:04really don't get out much.

0:04:08 > 0:04:11There's just time for a clean before they go back inside.

0:04:11 > 0:04:14Mmm. That's nice.

0:04:14 > 0:04:16Don't forget my armpits!

0:04:18 > 0:04:20Meanwhile, back indoors,

0:04:20 > 0:04:22the kittens are about to learn a new game.

0:04:22 > 0:04:24Play fighting.

0:04:24 > 0:04:27Come on! Who wants some?

0:04:27 > 0:04:29It looks like they're hurting each

0:04:29 > 0:04:32- other, but they aren't. - What's your beef?

0:04:32 > 0:04:36Well, most of the time, they're not.

0:04:36 > 0:04:38I'll bet the mice will love it

0:04:38 > 0:04:41when we start playing with them like this!

0:04:41 > 0:04:44They aren't just playing. They're also learning.

0:04:44 > 0:04:47They try not to hurt as they use their claws to practise

0:04:47 > 0:04:49hunting and catching!

0:04:49 > 0:04:52- Skills they'll need as adult cats. - We're pet cats!

0:04:52 > 0:04:57The only real skill we'll need is opening tins!

0:04:57 > 0:04:59Meow!

0:04:59 > 0:05:02I'll practice on him! Hee-yah!

0:05:02 > 0:05:05As well sharp claws, their teeth have

0:05:05 > 0:05:07started to come through.

0:05:07 > 0:05:09Less fighting, more playing.

0:05:10 > 0:05:12The next morning, the owner has

0:05:12 > 0:05:15discovered fleas on mum, Cleo.

0:05:15 > 0:05:17That lump, right up there on her ear

0:05:17 > 0:05:21is a horrible flea.

0:05:21 > 0:05:23- FLEA:- Yippee! I'm on telly

0:05:23 > 0:05:25and who are you calling horrible?

0:05:25 > 0:05:27Fleas spread disease

0:05:27 > 0:05:30so the owner must act straight away.

0:05:30 > 0:05:31He puts on gloves and

0:05:31 > 0:05:33treats Cleo with a special spray

0:05:33 > 0:05:35that's safe for cats and kittens,

0:05:35 > 0:05:38but will get rid of the fleas.

0:05:38 > 0:05:41Much more of this and I'll be gone as well.

0:05:41 > 0:05:43The spray makes Cleo wet,

0:05:43 > 0:05:45which she doesn't like.

0:05:45 > 0:05:47That is an understatement.

0:05:47 > 0:05:50Ha-ha! Mum's all wet!

0:05:50 > 0:05:53And to make sure the fleas don't spread,

0:05:53 > 0:05:55everyone must be sprayed.

0:05:55 > 0:05:57I should have kept my mouth shut.

0:06:03 > 0:06:05I can't believe it.

0:06:05 > 0:06:08Every single cat in this house has got wet.

0:06:08 > 0:06:11It's a good job the owner's got a lot of towels.

0:06:19 > 0:06:21Everyone gets done,

0:06:21 > 0:06:23including mum, Coco.

0:06:27 > 0:06:28Everyone's clean now and

0:06:28 > 0:06:30surprise, surprise...

0:06:30 > 0:06:32they've all gone back to sleep.

0:06:32 > 0:06:36Kittens have bursts of energy, but then they sleep for ages.

0:06:36 > 0:06:39They're only awake for about four hours a day.

0:06:39 > 0:06:41Only four hours?

0:06:41 > 0:06:43Four hours seems like...

0:06:43 > 0:06:45forever.

0:06:45 > 0:06:47Aww, cute.

0:06:47 > 0:06:49That one has to go online.

0:06:49 > 0:06:51KITTENS SNORE

0:06:54 > 0:06:58I wonder if they will sleep less grow up into adults?

0:07:01 > 0:07:04I doubt it!

0:07:05 > 0:07:07I doubt it, very much!

0:07:12 > 0:07:15We'll come back when they're awake.

0:07:15 > 0:07:17See you next time.

0:07:28 > 0:07:29If you want to have a

0:07:29 > 0:07:33cat or a kitten, it's a big responsibility. If you want an idea
