In ancient times cats were worshiped as gods; they have not forgotten this.

Socially they are adults around 3 years, this is the age behaviourists say problems can start in multicat homes. Simon is nearing 3 and i see him changing, he is becoming more dominant and has a bigger ego  :evillaugh:

Food wise i changed them to adult at 6 months or a bit before as they had sensitive tums.

How old are your kittens now Tryme?

Seriously, there is no set point but I think they become adults around 5 or 6 months when they become sexually mature. Kitten or cat is only a label though really.

If it is food related then at approx 4 months old I put mine on adult food from then on as kitten food is very rich for their tums!  ;)
Kitten's will have their adult teeth by 7 months old!

Now if its antics you are wondering about well....I have a two and nearly half year old curtain swinger, I have a one and a half year old feet in the bed grabber.....

My Pippa (dont know age) but she has just taught at least 4 of my cats how to pull the rubber sealant away from the sides of the double glazing!  :Crazy:

I would'nt change any of them though as I loves my quirky lot!  :evillaugh:
