Is 7 weeks old too young for a kitten?

Thanks! They are getting BIG! At only 7.5 months old, Paris already tips the scale just over 10 pounds. :eek: He's long and lean and muscular. Zoe is in the 8-pound range.

Paris is a momma's boy. Gotta be with mom - on her lap is his favorite spot. And he's got a loud squeaky purr that will rumble throughout your body when he's sitting on your chest (like, in bed at 3 in the morning! :rolleyes:). He also has a very unusual (to us) mew. It rises up in inflection, like a question. He's most talkative in the litter box (Thanks, Paris...we really needed to know that!) and, of course, at feeding time.

Zoe is daddy's girl. She hangs with him mostly. They both know the sound of the garage door opening now, and she'll come running down the stairs to the door, meowing non-stop at him, like she's just got sooooo much news to catch daddy up on since he went away to work in the morning. The Gossip Girl! ;)

They are quite a pair.

I just love kitty language. Of the various cats I've had, they've all sounded completely different. Different vocalizations, different purrs, different ways of "talking" to you. It's fascinating.

Referring back to cats fascination with water, my cat does this also. Evie always wants in the bathroom. Something even stranger is whenever I blow dry my hair she comes running from wherever she is and sits and stares at me. I'll turn the dryer on her and she walks around my legs and will lay down while it's blowing on her. She's so funny. Then after I stop, she meows like, "hey, what do you think you're doing? I'm not done!" Cracks me up everytime!

Look at those precious kitties. :) My calico came from the shelter at six weeks old. She was sooo teeny. Yours have turned out just awesome! They are so handsome.
