Mum, I want a kitten!

Children seem to be naturally drawn to animals, and sooner or later, most parents hear the plaintive cry: ‘Mum, I want one’. Kittens are especially appealing with their cute, cuddly appearance and their playful behaviour, so it is isn't hard to give in to a child's wistful plea to take one home.

However, there is a lot more to choosing a kitten and raising it to be a healthy, happy adult cat, than simply going out and picking the first cute individual that one sees.

This book gives mums and children practical and useful advice about adopting a kitten; bringing it home and settling it in; feeding it and caring for it.

Text as well as amusing pictures help to get the message across in a relaxed and fun way so that children and their mums see the adventure in raising a kitten to become a loved and valued member of the family.
