Hi there, I'm new to this! I have a 6month old kitten.. I live in a flat and want her to be a home cat! I haven't had her vaccinated yet but will be doing that this week! She keeps going to the door meowing..is this a kitten's natural instinct? Someone told me once she has had her jabs this will stop?? Also every chance she gets to eat human food she does...is this normal..??? At the minute shes very spiteful too...will this eventually change? Please any1 with info please can u advise me on this! Thanx Char

Female cats become sexually mature between 7 and 12 months but sometimes they can have there first heat much earlier, so she may keep going to your door to get out and mate with a male cat.
kittens are supposed to have there first vacination at 9 weeks old then they have a second one at 12 weeks old, then the vet suggests you get them vacinated every 12 months but there is a lot of controversy on this and many people suggest its not nescessary, it genarally up to u though. Also vacintions/jabs do not alter whether your cat wants to get out or not.
As for the human food any cat will eat are food if we let them have it, or if we dont let them have it they usually find a way to steal it anyway lol ____________ Jet,Copper,Sasha,Scooby,Binky,Blade,Button,

I agree there! Mally ( my cat) used to come up on my lap and start pinching pieces of pasta, chips etc of my plate when she was a kitten. It's nothing to worry about ____________
