Kittens need to undergo socialization as early as possible. Socialization gives them the opportunity to be familiar with the sights and sounds of their environment. From riding in a car to being around other pets, a kitten should be able to adjust well to prevent stress as well as the development of various negative behaviors.
Once your pet has been vaccinated, you can bring him to places such as to a grooming facility to expose him to new sights, sounds, and smells. Each time your pet is introduced to a new stimulus, make sure to give positive reinforcement such as his favorite treats, praise, or petting so that your kitten will associate meeting something new to being a positive experience.
Even if you plan to raise your pet as an indoor cat, socialization is still very important. However, make sure to limit the number of pets and type of environments that your kitten is exposed to minimize potential exposure to parasites and infectious diseases. Vet from Logan Circle can help you design a socialization program for your kitten.
