0:00:34 > 0:00:38The kittens are now six weeks old and the last time we saw them

0:00:38 > 0:00:41they were learning to eat solid food.

0:00:41 > 0:00:44So, now seems to be a good time to start toilet training.

0:00:44 > 0:00:47But with 11 kittens learning to go to the toilet,

0:00:47 > 0:00:50I wouldn't be wearing open-toe sandals!

0:00:50 > 0:00:54The owner is putting down a tray and filling it with cat litter.

0:00:54 > 0:00:58Although the kitchens aren't quite sure what it's for.

0:00:58 > 0:01:01We'll never eat all that!

0:01:02 > 0:01:05One of them checks in with mum Cleo.

0:01:05 > 0:01:08Mum, there's something called a litter tray downstairs.

0:01:08 > 0:01:12I can tell you for nothing, litter tastes awful.

0:01:12 > 0:01:16I'll show you what to do with it. I need to use the loo anyway.

0:01:16 > 0:01:19Listen up, everyone, this is the litter tray.

0:01:19 > 0:01:22You have to use it to go to the toilet.

0:01:24 > 0:01:26I'm not going in that!

0:01:26 > 0:01:30The owner's got a perfectly good shoe I've been using.

0:01:30 > 0:01:32Right, who wants to play?

0:01:38 > 0:01:42There's something coming towards me.

0:01:42 > 0:01:47I don't know what it was, but I suspect I was meant to chase it.

0:01:47 > 0:01:49Wow! A bird on a stick!

0:01:49 > 0:01:53Look! A round green mouse with no legs.

0:01:53 > 0:01:54Got you! Whoops!

0:01:56 > 0:01:59No, I haven't. No, whoops.

0:01:59 > 0:02:03These toys are designed to get the kittens interested

0:02:03 > 0:02:06in things they've never seen before.

0:02:06 > 0:02:10Like play fighting, toys help the kittens to react quickly

0:02:10 > 0:02:13and teach them hunting and chasing skills.

0:02:13 > 0:02:17I'm not sure we're going to hunt many of these in the wild,

0:02:17 > 0:02:19but what the heck!

0:02:20 > 0:02:23Mum Cleo comes in to keep an eye on things.

0:02:29 > 0:02:33Roll cute shots of kittens playing with their new kit.

0:02:33 > 0:02:37GUITAR MUSIC PLAYS

0:02:41 > 0:02:43MEOW!

0:02:43 > 0:02:46Come here. Stop moving.

0:02:49 > 0:02:51Put them up! Put them up!

0:02:51 > 0:02:53Yeah, put them up!

0:03:03 > 0:03:06I think these might be meatballs...

0:03:08 > 0:03:14That looks fun. I'm joining the queue for that.

0:03:14 > 0:03:17..but they don't taste like meatballs.

0:03:17 > 0:03:21If they are meatballs, I think they're still alive!

0:03:24 > 0:03:27I'll eat this and if it doesn't agree with me

0:03:27 > 0:03:31I'll just poop it out into that litter tray.

0:03:31 > 0:03:36The toys also help to improve the kitten's speed, agility and balance.

0:03:36 > 0:03:38- Ugh!- Oops!

0:03:38 > 0:03:41There's still room for improvement then.

0:03:42 > 0:03:44Catch it if you can!

0:03:44 > 0:03:46I'm dizzy. Someone get that litter tray,

0:03:46 > 0:03:48I think I'm going to be sick!

0:03:48 > 0:03:50MEOW!

0:03:53 > 0:03:57Maybe if three of us chase it, we can catch it!

0:03:57 > 0:04:00Get off! It's mine.

0:04:00 > 0:04:03This balance thing is tricky!

0:04:05 > 0:04:08All right, let's try it with the four of us.

0:04:08 > 0:04:11Meow.

0:04:21 > 0:04:26They're defo not meatballs. I'm off for a rest.

0:04:26 > 0:04:28CATS SNORE

0:04:28 > 0:04:31Mums Coco and Cleo are tired just from watching.

0:04:31 > 0:04:33So, imagine how the kittens feel.

0:04:33 > 0:04:36You guessed it, exhausted.

0:04:36 > 0:04:38KITTENS SNUFFLE

0:04:38 > 0:04:40Meow.

0:04:42 > 0:04:48But the kittens have made such a mess that the cleaner has come in.

0:04:48 > 0:04:53I wonder if this foot is a toy and I can run after it?

0:04:53 > 0:04:57Come on, get those feet moving, so I can chase them.

0:04:59 > 0:05:05OK, how about you run around with that mat and let me chase it?

0:05:05 > 0:05:07She hasn't got time to play.

0:05:07 > 0:05:11You'd better save your energy for next time.

0:05:11 > 0:05:16And now the kittens have spotted something else new in the house.

0:05:16 > 0:05:18Leave it to me, I've got this.

0:05:18 > 0:05:21Just as soon as I've got down these stairs.

0:05:26 > 0:05:28I don't care how big you are, mate.

0:05:28 > 0:05:33Any trouble and we're going to fall out.

0:05:33 > 0:05:35Oh, this could be interesting.

0:05:37 > 0:05:41I think someone's about to get a rude awakening.

0:05:43 > 0:05:47Coco knows what's about to happen and scarpers smart-ish.

0:05:47 > 0:05:51Ha-ha! Look at Mum run. What a scaredy-cat.

0:05:51 > 0:05:54You don't see us scared, like...

0:05:54 > 0:05:57- It's coming after us! Quick, hide!- Upstairs.

0:05:57 > 0:06:00- I hope it's no good at stairs. - Come on, everyone. Hide.

0:06:00 > 0:06:03It's not fair. It didn't count to ten first.

0:06:03 > 0:06:05It will never find me up here!

0:06:07 > 0:06:10It's stopped! It's stopped!

0:06:10 > 0:06:13I hope it isn't clogged up with kittens.

0:06:13 > 0:06:16Don't say things like that!

0:06:16 > 0:06:19That was scary.

0:06:19 > 0:06:22I was so terrified, I went to toilet in this shoe.

0:06:22 > 0:06:26We thought we'd hide behind these things.

0:06:26 > 0:06:29Yeah, otherwise it was going to be curtains for us!

0:06:29 > 0:06:31Oh, very funny.

0:06:35 > 0:06:38This kitten checks out what the cleaner's done.

0:06:38 > 0:06:40Wow! That's so much cleaner.

0:06:40 > 0:06:43Brilliant! Now we can make it messy again.

0:06:46 > 0:06:49There's only one thing left to do after all that excitement -

0:06:49 > 0:06:51have a wash.

0:06:51 > 0:06:55Cats like to wash themselves to get rid of dirt

0:06:55 > 0:06:57and keep their coats nice and shiny.

0:06:57 > 0:07:00I've no idea how I got so dirty there.

0:07:05 > 0:07:06This tastes funny.

0:07:06 > 0:07:10Next time, I'm washing my face first and then my bum!

0:07:11 > 0:07:14Some are even learning to wash each other.

0:07:19 > 0:07:21You can do your own bum though.

0:07:21 > 0:07:25Right, that's at least ten seconds of washing done. Now, let's play!

0:07:27 > 0:07:31Come on, then. Let's fight. The loser takes on the hoover.

0:07:33 > 0:07:36I wonder what the kittens will learn about next time.

0:07:36 > 0:07:40Don't care, we're playing. Bye!

0:07:42 > 0:07:46Having a kitten is a huge, time-consuming responsibility.

0:07:46 > 0:07:49And if you want an idea of exactly what's involved,
