Photo and development of a Siamese kitten in 1 -6 month

Siamese – interesting from all sides of the cat. They are appreciated for the affectionate temper, “talkativeness”, sociability, amazing attachment to man. These are animals with a point color – dark marks on head, tail, legs. Babies are born completely white, only with by age they exhibit a constant suit. It’s important for the owner to know what stages of development does his siam go through to ensure a growing the body with everything you need.

Kitten at birth

Babies are born white – Siamese coloring will decorate them with time. Darkening of certain parts of the body is very interesting explained: Siamese are born carriers of special genes that block pigment entering the hairs covering the hottest sections of the body. The higher the temperature of the body in a certain area, the last will be brighter.

In contrast, the colder the site, the more pigment will come in, the darker it will be. In cats, the most “unheated” – the head, paws and tail. This explains the darkening of these areas.

The fact that crumbs are born almost white is also explained temperature. It’s very warm in the womb of a mother cat – baby evenly heats up, which is why it appears in the light of white (dark pigment is blocked on all hairs). When born a newborn kitten begins to “cool” slowly, less heat evenly – point appears.

The same genes are responsible for brightening the iris. Siamese with age, the eyes do not darken, but become lighter – from The “infant” blue changes to bright blue.

The average weight of the kids is 8 0 g. They don’t see or hear, practically cannot crawl, but already possess an enviable sense of smell – able to smell mom at a distance of up to 7 0 cm. By the 3 rd day at the cat’s the umbilical cord disappears, by 4 -5 days they will open with ears. In so early age siamese only food – nutritious milk mothers saturated with antibodies.

Newborn Siamese kittens:

2 weeks

A two-week-old baby hears better, but to perfectly sharp the hearing of an adult animal is far from him. By 2-3 weeks in the offspring the eyes erupt. Kids, seeing and hearing the world, make fun attempts to crawl toward him.

From this time begins an active maternal education – a cat teaches daughter sons to communicate with each other, behave like representatives of the species. The first acquaintance with a person takes place – the owner gently strokes the kittens, gently speaks to them. To relate somewhere kids, take animals in their arms is not worth it – it’s very nervous mother.

1 month

By the third week, the monthly animal already knows how to stand on all 4 legs, bypass (not always successful) obstacles and scratch the back paw ear. The babies erupt milk teeth that will form before reaching 2 months.

Kittens actively play with each other and mom, get used to to man. They can be ironed, carefully picked up. In monthly age carry out the first deworming. Offer kittens complementary foods, drinking in a bowl – they are already properly lapping up the liquid.

Kittens in 1 month:

2 months

Kids are independently engaged in their own hygiene – wash, lick their lips. The owner smoothly transfers them to a new nutrition – at first it was a wet “baby” food. Rate per day for one animal – 10 0-150 g. If the kitten has no problems with digestion, he is already offered solid food. By 8 weeks at kittens should have all the milk teeth.

Two-month-old animals are fed up to 6 times a day – it requires them fast development. The kids seem to round up and increase everyday. At this stage, it’s important for the kitten to learn that the person is kind and reliable, but an older friend who must be obeyed.

It is already possible to distinguish between cats and kitties in appearance. The boys develop faster, noticeably larger.

Kittens receive the first two-stage vaccination. Accustomed to necessary care – combing hair, cleaning eyes and ears. Toddlers begin to look for a new home. Siam sometimes difficult to get used to new conditions – kittens must be given time to get comfortable. TO the appearance of a new family member, a person needs to be properly prepare – close, hide everything that is dangerous for the animal.

Two-month Siamese:

3 months

A kitten is already an independent “personality.” It’s time to go to him upbringing – it’s not applicable to shout, beat an animal. It will make siam incredulous, vicious and aggressive.

The kitten that has moved to the new owners is already fully accustomed to their possessions. The owner patiently shows him “can” and “impossible,” suppresses excessive curiosity.

The kitten perfectly sees, hears and distinguishes smells. Is able contact with people and animals. He is not afraid of man, but on the contrary, reaches out to people – asks for affection, invites you to play, with joyfully runs to the call.

Kitten at 3 months:

4 months

The development of the animal is slowed down somewhat – the frequency of meals reduced to 5, the food is left the same “child”. In babies permanent molars begin to erupt. By this time rather strong “scratches” grow on the paws – the owner spends first clipping. If a person does not have the proper experience, it is better entrust the procedure to a professional.

Four month old Siamese:

5 months

A new stage in reducing the number of meals – up to 4. Important to teach animal to a strict nutrition schedule. According to the testimony of a veterinarian feed purps enrich with additional mineral, vitamin additives.

Animals at 5 months:

6 months

By six months, the teenager already resembles an adult animal. In his jaws – a full arsenal of “fighting teeth”. Feline time begins puberty. Fur seals are neutered at 5-12 months, kittens – at 6-8.

The frequency of feedings is reduced to 3 times. But the bred kitten offer high-calorie “baby” food – his body continues grow.

7-12 months

Seven-month-old animals survive the first molt – the owner does not need to forget to wield with a brush, comb, offer the animal special paste for removing wool.

At 10 months, the pet is smoothly transferred to adult food. Frequency feedings are reduced to 2 times a day.

One-year-old Siamese are adult, mature animals. They are distinguished by stable habits, peaceful disposition, good appetite, energy and playfulness.
