0:00:05 > 0:00:06MEOW!

0:00:08 > 0:00:09CATS MEOW

0:00:33 > 0:00:37Remember this? Yes, it's the litter tray.

0:00:38 > 0:00:42The kittens have to learn to use this, as they are not allowed

0:00:42 > 0:00:46outside yet and, if a kitten, or even a cat, can't go outside,

0:00:46 > 0:00:49this is their toilet.

0:00:49 > 0:00:51It's taken a little time

0:00:51 > 0:00:54but the kittens have learnt from their mothers.

0:00:54 > 0:00:58Oh, I should have learnt this earlier!

0:00:58 > 0:01:00Out the way, I need a poo!

0:01:02 > 0:01:04Oooh, look at me.

0:01:04 > 0:01:08Cats are very clean animals and, once they've done a poo,

0:01:08 > 0:01:12they cover it up so that it's hidden and it doesn't smell.

0:01:12 > 0:01:15They know how to do this without being told.

0:01:20 > 0:01:22Oh, my Goodness!

0:01:22 > 0:01:24What's all that?

0:01:24 > 0:01:28It's a big climbing frame for all the kittens to play on.

0:01:28 > 0:01:32There are three different levels and lots of toys to keep them interested

0:01:32 > 0:01:38and excited, and exercising their tiny bodies to help them grow.

0:01:38 > 0:01:41And there's a new roly-poly tunnel thing.

0:01:47 > 0:01:51Oh, what's going on here? Someone's trapped inside.

0:01:57 > 0:01:59Phew, she's out.

0:02:07 > 0:02:09Look how much fun they're having.

0:02:09 > 0:02:12And all the time learning how to hunt and chase

0:02:12 > 0:02:14and to use their claws.

0:02:32 > 0:02:35But you don't need a big cat climbing frame

0:02:35 > 0:02:36if you haven't got room.

0:02:36 > 0:02:38Kittens can play with anything.

0:02:40 > 0:02:42The edge of a rug, for example.

0:02:44 > 0:02:45A paper bag.

0:02:54 > 0:02:57Some scrunched-up paper.

0:03:02 > 0:03:05You could even pull a shoelace under a rug

0:03:05 > 0:03:08and see what the kittens will do.

0:03:10 > 0:03:14How about playing in a sandal? Hey, don't chew that!

0:03:17 > 0:03:19And, if you have more than one kitten,

0:03:19 > 0:03:22they'll happily play together.

0:03:30 > 0:03:33But hang on, what's going on over here?

0:03:33 > 0:03:35Whoa! Who's that?

0:03:40 > 0:03:44The kittens are watching themselves in a mirror.

0:03:44 > 0:03:46They're trying to figure it out.

0:03:51 > 0:03:55How come there are four of us, when really there's only two?

0:03:55 > 0:03:58Don't know. It's magic.

0:04:06 > 0:04:08Oi! Stop copying everything I do.

0:04:16 > 0:04:21Well, me and my friend are going to play with these balls together.

0:04:27 > 0:04:31Mum Cleo comes in to see what all the fuss is about.

0:04:31 > 0:04:33Oh, it's the old mirror trick.

0:04:33 > 0:04:36They did this to me when I were a kitten.

0:04:42 > 0:04:47Hang on, I think it's a joke. Oh, there's no-one behind here.

0:04:48 > 0:04:51I don't like the look of hi... Oh, you're right.

0:04:51 > 0:04:53Ooh, I think it's me!

0:04:56 > 0:05:00Problem solved. Let's go and play somewhere else.

0:05:02 > 0:05:05Oh, you go and play. I need to cool off.

0:05:05 > 0:05:09A fan is just one of the many things in the home the kittens

0:05:09 > 0:05:12are going to have to get used to.

0:05:12 > 0:05:16There will be noises like... a slamming door.

0:05:18 > 0:05:22There'll be strange sounds when you turn on the TV.

0:05:23 > 0:05:26Or what about a kettle boiling?

0:05:29 > 0:05:31Or a funny doorbell sound.

0:05:33 > 0:05:38There might even be strange sights, like fish in a tank.

0:05:42 > 0:05:47Hey! That's enough talk when we're trying to get some sleep.

0:05:48 > 0:05:52Oh, it's very hard to get to sleep with all of these noises

0:05:52 > 0:05:54and chat going on.

0:05:56 > 0:05:58WHISPERS: Oh, sorry.

0:06:01 > 0:06:04Well, the fish are still awake

0:06:04 > 0:06:10but, gradually, everyone does get to sleep.

0:06:10 > 0:06:15It's been a fun day and the kittens will sleep for a good, long time.

0:06:16 > 0:06:21Ahh, they deserve it. Sweet dreams, kittens.

0:06:24 > 0:06:28Having a kitten is a huge, time-consuming responsibility

0:06:28 > 0:06:31and, if you want an idea of exactly what's involved,
