I juat got a new kitten, she must be about 6 weeks now. Very tiny! My question is.. how long and how much should she sleep? Seems as if she is always sleeping! Our older kitten plays with her a lot, and they raise terror thru the house! She is eating and drinking fine, using the potty box, ect. It just seems as she sleeps so much! Is this normal? Skye.
Young kitties sleep A LOT- if she's being a little terror when awake, eating, drinking and using the box, I really wouldn't worry. Kittens typically have 2 settings, "on" and "off", when they are "on", they are burning astonishing amounts of energy and the "off" switch is when they recoup all that energy for the next round.

Oh, that's good news! We are battling fleas here, so I thought maybe she was getting anemic. Guess not! She is a terror when she is awake! Thank You! Skye
