Thread: Just Curious

When do breeders on your side of the pond release kittens? I'm curious because I've seen so many adorable little kittens in the arms of their new owners in the galleries. I wasn't allowed to pick up my kitten until he was 13 weeks old, and by then he was 1/2 the size of my Scottish fold. He's just under 5 months now and weighs 4.5 kgs. With his fluffy coat, he looks bigger than both the Scottish fold (3 years old) and the Russian blue (almost 12 years old).

So I feel a little cheated out of the fluff ball stage. Do British breeders release kittens at a younger age?
