An interesting article, however somewhat vexed. Do kittens in the wild seek out vetinarians, for example? :-)user:sjc

OK, it's a point. I guess I figured anyone checking up on kittens would likely be involved in looking after them or rescuing them. Maybe more developmental details can be supplied by someone into ethology, and the vet stuff minimized. user:zadcat

The vet stuff, as you mention, is useful. Perhaps we should simply add material about kitten development in the wild - may be separate it out from the Care and Feeding of Domestic Kittens by Devoted Kitten Foster Mommies and Daddies. - montréalais

I like the flying kitten! :) Nevilley

The cat is a domestic animal and MOST kittens are raised in a household with hot and cold running vets... something useful to add in here might be statistics and facts on what happens to feral kittens (death rates etc) because the numbers have got to be very different... KJ

What about moving the info about cat kittens to under cat? // Liftarn

Here's a pic taken by my neighbor today -- she's agreed to release it under GFDL so use as desired (sorry, that's as large as it gets). One-day old litter of kittens:

'Kitty' currently redirects to here. As there are multiple defns of kitty, should it really? --Kesuari 06:52, 26 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Foxes

Aren't baby foxes also called kittens, or just kits? RickK 06:57, Jun 26, 2004 (UTC)

Kitties are cute!

Sorry, I couldn't resist. Ketsy 21:51, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)

ME too! KITTYS ARE CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

evil reptilian kitten-eater from another planet

I'm not really sure this link should be in the 'see also' section. It really has nothing to do with kittens, but with Canadian politics. (I'm posting this comment so the issue is up for discussion, just in case anyone decides to engage in a revert-war) Lachatdelarue (talk) 22:09, 20 May 2005 (UTC)

Is that actually a serious article? Looked like a hoax to me.

EliasAlucard|Talk 01:48, 21 May, 2005 (UTC)

I think the link should stay. Someone interested in kittens might be interested in that article.- SimonP 00:12, May 21, 2005 (UTC)

The other article is not a hoax ;) - Lucky13pjn 01:32, May 21, 2005 (UTC)

It's not a hoax (though it is about Canadian and not British politics). DJ Clayworth 05:56, 22 May 2005 (UTC)

I still don't see justification for it being in the 'see also' section, since it's not actually related... maybe a brief mention at the end of the article would suffice? Lachatdelarue (talk) 12:02, 21 May 2005 (UTC)

I don't see why it should be linked from the kitten article at all.

EliasAlucard|Talk 14:23, 21 May, 2005 (UTC)

Neither do I, Elias, but other people think it should be, so I'm working for a compromise. Lachatdelarue (talk) 12:25, 21 May 2005 (UTC)

I've written it up in a short paragraph in a new Trivia section at the end of the article. Other miscellaneous kitten-related tidbits can go here! Samaritan 05:54, 22 May 2005 (UTC)

Okay I take your word that it's not a hoax, but what has a politician to do with kittens? Please give me a valid reason, or else I don't think it belongs in the article. And no, I'm not going to read that entire article because I don't find it interesting and a waste of time.

EliasAlucard|Talk 10:41, 22 May, 2005 (UTC)

Interesting or not is irrelevant. Why? Because A) It's not trivia. B) It's not cat/kitten related. C) It's about a politican that was called something as stupid as "evil reptilian kitten-eater from another planet". It's an article about politics. Not kittens/cats/animals. It has nothing whatsoever to do with the subject. It's like putting a George W. Bush trivia section (or in the see also section) in the evil article just because he has been called evil by people who dislike him. It doesn't belong in this article. Period.

EliasAlucard|Talk 21:11, 23 May, 2005 (UTC)

I agree with Elias above. Kittens have nothing to do with the political kerfuffle in Canada; it doesn't deserve a mention in this article at all. · Katefan0^(scribble) 19:15, May 23, 2005 (UTC)

fwiw, it does illustrate how readily and universally Western culture considers kittens cute, and unthinkable as food... Samaritan 19:18, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

I just discovered that Bush in fact was in the evil article :) But anyway, it's still an invalid reason to have that whatever his name is politician in this article, because it's not part of the subject. Bush being evil is an opinion. He has done stuff that can be considered evil. This guy is not an "evil reptilian kitten-eater from another planet" and therefore doesn't justifiy a link to his article from this one.

If we're going to have a link to the masturbation thing, we may as well have the kitten-eater link. Ditch both, or neither. -Joshuapaquin 01:40, Jun 16, 2005 (UTC)

I disagree. The masturbation picture, is relatively famous, and it's actually cat-related... well, in a humorous way anyway. The evil reptilian kitten eater however, is just an expression. Aside from that, it's not related to kittens in any way. It was just a retort from some politician, to another politician, and meant in a derogatory way.

EliasAlucard|Talk 03:53, 16 Jun, 2005 (UTC)

Well, its inclusion in the article is relevant to Canadians. The politicians in Canada are all evil reptilian kitten eaters. It's a proven fact. :) - Anon

I'm not going to take that seriously. I'll consider it as a joke, because I strongly doubt that Canadians eat kittens and are evil reptile creatures. Sounds too much like V to me.
