[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 353223, member: 1963"] Actually, if the mom cat will allow it; it is a good thing to start handling the babies asap. It makes it easier to socialize them later. They are blind and also deaf at this point, but there's nothing wrong with their sense of smell. Just remember not to disturb them when they are nursing or when mom is caring for them (toileting, etc) Funny story though hard on the ego: We had one litter that we did early socialization with. All went well until their eyes opened. I went to peer into the kitten box and got seven resounding HISSES in response. I apparently felt OK, smelled OK, but was really UGLEE. [/QUOTE]
