Hi guys,
hope this isn't a silly question but I've never owned a kitten before! I've had Antonio for almost a week now, and have noticed that he never really grooms himself? I've seen him lick his paws and thats about it really. So my question is - how old are kittens when they start grooming themselves? It's not that much of a problem except he tends to have a messy behind. I've been cleaning it myself with cat grooming wipes that I got from pets at home, but am wondering if this will only encourage him not to clean himself as he knows that I will do it for him.
All advice will be appreciated - thanks!
