THE cat is inside the bag. Yup, not out but inside. Curious cats love to get inside a lot of different things, but they have a weakness for boxes and bags. A box, warm and snug, gives cats a sense of comfort and security. A paper bag or any type of bag probably has the same effect on cats, with an added entertainment value if the bag makes rustling sound. Cats also love to stick their heads inside any kind of vessel. They become evidently excited as they tunnel deep inside to “explore”. If you have kitties, they probably gave you already several demonstrations of their box and bag obsession. Here are our photos of funny cats having a blast stuffing themselves inside anything they find. It's amusing to watch cats get lost in their “new” world, but stick around to ensure they don't suffocate.

 Weeks old kitten are still fragile so be careful when touching or lifting them. (Photo by MetroPets) THE arrival of new kittens bring joy to my heart. Although I know it eventually means more mouths to feed, more trips to the vet, more cat fights to break, more things around the house pissed at and scratched and more things to clean, I just could not for the life of me not be happy at the sight of cute kitties. For me, kittens are the cutest things in the world and I have a whole army of Internet users that I know would agree. I've watched kittens being delivered to this world countless of times since I was a small girl. I even documented some on film. In an hour or two, those tiny wonders would be cleaned and dried by their mother and then my desire to hold them would begin. One should refrain from picking up very young kittens as it may upset their mother. This has never been a problem with me – the moms are my cats so they trust me. But it's true that one must not handle days old kitten unless the mother cat knows them and they could be perfectly gentle and careful with the baby cats. Years of experience have taught me how to handle and cradle kittens and I'm gladly sharing some tips below to assist those who couldn't help get their hands on newborn kitties.
Early socialization by means of touch will help kittens be familiar with people. But not all kittens are the same. Some simply hate to be petted no matter how gentle and friendly you are. Home-grown kittens are usually okay with human's display of affection, but strays and rescues that have gone through some harrowing experience might resist your friendly advances. Of course, there are exceptions as some strays actually crave affection that they didn't get growing up.  One last tip: try to ascertain a kitten or cat's mood before you hold or carry it. Watch those tails and ears! They'll pretty much clue you in if they want physical contact or not. – AJB
