A bit clumsy in the beginning, kittens will soon discover their possibilities. You should encourage them. It will improve their coordination and boost their self-confidence. So: If you take care of kittens, play with them every day.Ten or fifteen minutes are a good minimum. And the less time, the more toys you should provide. Toys do not have to be expensive. A paper bag, an old cotton sock or a table-tennis ball are great fun - according to cats. But make sure they are safe. Take care of your cat as if it was a human child. Never use plastic bags.
