0:00:03 > 0:00:08MEOW
0:00:08 > 0:00:14MEOW MEOW MEOW
0:00:27 > 0:00:32MEOW PURR
0:00:35 > 0:00:38Guess what? Our 11 kittens have been asleep.
0:00:38 > 0:00:42But now they're waking up, although when they know what's in store for
0:00:42 > 0:00:45them they might want to go back to sleep again.
0:00:45 > 0:00:49Because today they're getting a check-up.
0:00:51 > 0:00:56Remember last time? Their owner discovered fleas on Mum Cleo's ear.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59That tiny dot up there is a flea.
0:00:59 > 0:01:03- FLEA:- Hello, it's me again. Don't mind me, I'm just biting this cat.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06She's delish.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11Flea bites can make cats sick, so their owners sprayed them
0:01:11 > 0:01:15to get rid of the fleas.
0:01:15 > 0:01:21Now, a few days later, their owner needs to check the fleas have gone.
0:01:21 > 0:01:25Wee, I'm floating!
0:01:25 > 0:01:29He uses a special comb to check the kittens' fur.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31I'll have a centre parting, please.
0:01:31 > 0:01:35And backcomb the tail, and put some mousse on.
0:01:35 > 0:01:39If they still have fleas they'll stick to the comb,
0:01:39 > 0:01:42and we'll see them as little black dots.
0:01:43 > 0:01:47The comb is clear, so there are no fleas on this kitten.
0:01:47 > 0:01:52Hooray! I'm flea, free! I'm flea, free. You try saying that quickly.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54Your turn, sis.
0:01:54 > 0:01:59At last, I haven't been able to do a thing with my fur, all day.
0:02:01 > 0:02:05All the cats are clear. The fleas have fled.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08Now, they can play for a bit.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10MEOW
0:02:12 > 0:02:16Steady on, I AM trying to get in here.
0:02:16 > 0:02:21Shoosh, don't tell him I'm coming. Bundle!
0:02:21 > 0:02:24For the kittens, all this play fighting
0:02:24 > 0:02:27and exploring is a bit like going to school.
0:02:27 > 0:02:31It all looks way more fun than maths and literacy.
0:02:35 > 0:02:39They're learning about hunting, chasing and biting.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43All the things they'll need to know as adult cats.
0:02:43 > 0:02:47We can't wait to grow up and start bringing in dead mice
0:02:47 > 0:02:51- and birds for our owners. - Rawr. Waa.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04MEW!
0:03:04 > 0:03:06Here's another new thing.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09The owner is bringing solid food for the first time.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12Unsurprisingly, Mum, Coco, doesn't hesitate.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15Shift your backside, fella.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18The kittens have never seen this kind of food before.
0:03:18 > 0:03:22But now it's time to start giving up their mother's milk
0:03:22 > 0:03:25and eating proper cat food.
0:03:25 > 0:03:29SNIFF SNIFF SNIFF
0:03:29 > 0:03:33SLURP SLURP
0:03:33 > 0:03:38Yum, yum. Pigs bum. I wonder if it actually is a pig's bum?
0:03:43 > 0:03:47I'll join in as soon as I'm the right way up.
0:03:54 > 0:03:59Go on, then. I'll give it a go. How bad can it be?
0:03:59 > 0:04:03Pff. Pff Pff. Pretty bad. I think I'll ring for a pizza.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11Another kitten joins in.
0:04:12 > 0:04:17Mum, I can't bite it properly. Can I borrow your teeth?
0:04:21 > 0:04:25Wake up, guys. You're missing out!
0:04:25 > 0:04:28SLURP SLURP SLURP
0:04:28 > 0:04:31This is delish. What's for pudding?
0:04:34 > 0:04:38Come on, now. No elbows on the table and no feet on the plates.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41I'm walking in it so I can lick my paws later.
0:04:41 > 0:04:46This is defo what I'm having for dinner from now on.
0:04:48 > 0:04:52Two more kittens join in. Never mind Hungry Hippos.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55This is like a game of Hungry Kittens.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58Come on, have some manners. Get off the plate.
0:04:58 > 0:05:03I like it so much I'm having a bath in it.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06Aw. This kitten has woken up too late.
0:05:06 > 0:05:11MEOW Sorry, Puss. You snooze, you lose.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14There must be something left.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17I hate having so many brothers and sisters.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20Why wasn't I an only cat?
0:05:20 > 0:05:23Luckily, there's always Mum's milk. For now.
0:05:23 > 0:05:27And if eating food for the first time wasn't exciting enough,
0:05:27 > 0:05:30here's another new thing. A bowl of water.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33We're so much more classier than dogs.
0:05:33 > 0:05:38Some dirty dogs drink water out of the toilet, though they shouldn't.
0:05:38 > 0:05:42After all that food it's a good time to weigh the kittens again.
0:05:42 > 0:05:47They're five weeks old and we need to check that they're growing properly.
0:05:47 > 0:05:51When we first weighed them... Do you remember? They were tiny,
0:05:51 > 0:05:52but look at them now.
0:05:52 > 0:05:56I think you're going to need a bigger bowl.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59I've just been told off for sitting in a food bowl,
0:05:59 > 0:06:01now you want me to sit in one?
0:06:01 > 0:06:03Make your mind up.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07KITTEN MEWS
0:06:07 > 0:06:11They're all weighing in at just over 600g which is a pretty
0:06:11 > 0:06:13good weight for their age.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16Uh, this food bowl's still empty,
0:06:16 > 0:06:22and I'm pretty sure we're supposed to be learning about eating.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25Then they need another worming.
0:06:25 > 0:06:30I'm sure I told you before, I really don't like this.
0:06:30 > 0:06:34I almost feel sorry for the worms, getting smothered in this stuff.
0:06:34 > 0:06:38Worse thing ever. Period.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41This is the most disgusting thing I've ever tasted,
0:06:41 > 0:06:45and I clean my bottom with my tongue.
0:06:47 > 0:06:52Pft. Pft. Pft. Pft. Woops. Has anyone got a bib?
0:06:52 > 0:06:57Have I got any round my mouth? Go on, tell me. Have I?
0:06:58 > 0:07:02I'll see if there's any more of that food to take the taste away.
0:07:02 > 0:07:08Nom, nom, nom, nom, nom, nom, nom.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15After all that excitement the kittens are exhausted
0:07:15 > 0:07:18and need some more sleep.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26Who knows what's in store for them tomorrow?
0:07:26 > 0:07:30But I'm guessing it'll include more eating and sleeping.
0:07:30 > 0:07:34We'll see you next time.
0:07:34 > 0:07:38If you're considering the massive commitment it takes to own a cat
0:07:38 > 0:07:42or a kitten, then check out the Meet the Kittens page on the CBBC website
0:07:42 > 0:07:45for more information.
