0:00:05 > 0:00:06MEOW
0:00:08 > 0:00:10MEOW MEOW
0:00:19 > 0:00:21MEOW
0:00:35 > 0:00:39The 11 kittens are now seven weeks old and can play by themselves,
0:00:39 > 0:00:44so Mum, Coco, takes the opportunity for a bit of 'Me' time.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47And this 'Me' time involves me stuffing my face
0:00:47 > 0:00:49with a tonne of biscuits.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52I'm coming for you, biscuits.
0:00:52 > 0:00:56You can come and watch but you're not getting any.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03You see that, it says, "Cat food".
0:01:03 > 0:01:08Well, I'm a cat and I want some food.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11Doh! Can someone take these lids off?
0:01:12 > 0:01:15There must be something else I can eat.
0:01:15 > 0:01:16A half-opened tin of tuna,
0:01:16 > 0:01:21some prime Scottish smoked salmon even cornflakes, anything really.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24No?
0:01:24 > 0:01:30SQUEAK This cat is not a happy bunny.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35The owner's children have come home from school
0:01:35 > 0:01:38and they want to play with the kittens.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41And the kittens are more than happy to oblige.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44Although it's important to not over exert them
0:01:44 > 0:01:47as they tire quickly during play with humans.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50The pink mouse, that's my favourite.
0:01:54 > 0:01:59I love this thing as well.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01And now a finger to play with.
0:02:01 > 0:02:05I wonder if I'm allowed a quick nibble on it? He's got nine more.
0:02:05 > 0:02:09The kittens need to learn that human hands are not toys for playing with.
0:02:09 > 0:02:13They're for providing food, socialising and holding things.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15All right, then, I won't bite it.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30Clear off, sunshine, this thing's mine.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40Whatevs. I'm bored now.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43Time for the kittens to get a bit of pampering.
0:02:43 > 0:02:47Touching their paws, ears and mouth gets them used to human hands.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50And the kittens are lapping it up.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53First it was playtime and now we're being stroked.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55I don't want to ever leave this house.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58Well, that's a pity because in a few weeks
0:02:58 > 0:03:02the kittens will be off to new homes, so the owner is taking photos
0:03:02 > 0:03:05to see if anybody's interested in taking them on.
0:03:05 > 0:03:09Mum, Cleo, checks everything and then the first kitten poses for a photo.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12Try and look cute for the camera.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15I always look cute, I'm a kitten.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17Is this my best side?
0:03:20 > 0:03:23Don't forget the flash and don't give me red-eye.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28Shall I pout or just look natural?
0:03:30 > 0:03:33Oi puss, it helps if you look at the camera.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39Maybe take that one again,
0:03:39 > 0:03:43- or you're going to be the last kitten to be picked.- Bored now.
0:03:43 > 0:03:48But as we know, these kittens can't keep still unless they're sleeping.
0:03:48 > 0:03:49Timber!
0:04:00 > 0:04:03Photo-bomb! Photo-bomb!
0:04:07 > 0:04:08Whoops, timber again.
0:04:14 > 0:04:18Don't be shy, come out and say, "Cheese!"
0:04:18 > 0:04:23You said cheese and this doesn't taste anything like cheese.
0:04:26 > 0:04:30It wasn't me, it was my sister, she looks exactly the same as me.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32Ha. There is a definite advantage
0:04:32 > 0:04:35to you not being able to tell us apart.
0:04:37 > 0:04:41One of the owner's children wants to send an e-mail to let people
0:04:41 > 0:04:44know that the kittens are looking for homes.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46She types, "Kittens for rehoming."
0:04:46 > 0:04:50But she thinks rehoming isn't quite the right word.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55How about, "Kittens needing a loving home."?
0:04:55 > 0:04:58Yeah, keep it simple like that.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04She wants the kittens to go to good homes
0:05:04 > 0:05:06where they'll be well looked after.
0:05:06 > 0:05:10She adds some pictures and now has a flyer that can be e-mailed to
0:05:10 > 0:05:12anyone interested in getting a kitten.
0:05:12 > 0:05:17OK, I'm on the computer, now where's this mouse they come with?
0:05:21 > 0:05:25Meanwhile, poor Coco. Instead of getting fed, she's getting fed up.
0:05:26 > 0:05:30This food does have a best-before date, you know?
0:05:31 > 0:05:35The kittens are playing a variety of games on the sofa.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38They're at the age now where they can run, pounce,
0:05:38 > 0:05:41leap and entertain themselves.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44There's hide-and-seek behind the cushions.
0:05:44 > 0:05:48Let's hope the owner doesn't come in and sit down.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51This kitten's trying out her balance.
0:05:51 > 0:05:55They use their tails to help them with that.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58Yeah, you might need to work a bit on that.
0:06:00 > 0:06:04If you're thinking of a name for me, how about Tarzan.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09Weeeeee. Any more of this and I'll need a wee.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14Luckily, us cats always land on our feet.
0:06:14 > 0:06:20The kittens are loving play time, Mum, Cleo, less so.
0:06:20 > 0:06:24Hurry up and send that e-mail out, I need some peace and quiet.
0:06:29 > 0:06:34Good news Coco, it looks like you're going to get some food at last.
0:06:34 > 0:06:35Oh, about time.
0:06:35 > 0:06:40I was about to send out an e-mail wanting a new home for myself.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42What? Just the one scoop?
0:06:42 > 0:06:45Have you put me on a diet?
0:06:47 > 0:06:49Oh goody, chunky food.
0:06:49 > 0:06:54Just the four packets, I don't want to overdo it. Purr-fect.
0:06:55 > 0:07:00Hold on Gutsy, don't be greedy. Let's take it downstairs.
0:07:01 > 0:07:05Yeah, but the other cats are downstairs and they'll eat it.
0:07:10 > 0:07:14- I told you so.- Everyone has smelt the food and has come to
0:07:14 > 0:07:19tuck in. The kittens are getting through four small meals a day now.
0:07:19 > 0:07:24Before long everyone is eating, everyone that is except poor Coco.
0:07:25 > 0:07:29I'm going to see if he left the lid off the biscuits.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34What's next for Coco, Cleo and their 11 kittens?
0:07:35 > 0:07:38Hopefully, I'll get some food.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40See you next time.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46If you want a cat or a kitten, it's a
0:07:46 > 0:07:50big responsibility and if you want an idea of the commitment it will
0:07:50 > 0:07:55take then check out the Meet the Kittens page on the CBBC website.
