8.What Big Claws This Kitten Has
This extremely small kitten seems to be in that priceless early stage of life where everything is novel and intriguing. The size says it’s just lately arrived on Earth, and the look on its face suggests it just woke from what must have been a quite fulfilling snooze. Though deceptively sharp, those small claws produce an irresistible need to reach out and touch with this tiny ball of fur.
But seasoned cat owners know well than to be misled by the cute look of those needle-like claws. Even in play, kitten claws—despite their small size—are remarkably keen and can cause rather strong scratches. Kittens are irresistible and deserving of careful handling because of their innate defence mechanism and playful disposition.
This small critter will grow into a full-sized cat in just a few months, prepared to pounce on anything that appeals to it. One of the most amazing processes in nature is the change from this vulnerable stage to a confident, agile hunter; so, these early events are all the more valuable to photograph and protect.
