The term used for a baby cat is "kitten." Kittens are soft, playful, and curious, and they are known for their playful antics and adorable behavior. They are born blind and deaf, typically in a litter that can vary in size. As they grow, kittens engage in play to develop their hunting instincts and social skills, often interacting with their littermates and human caretakers. Kittens require special care, including proper nutrition and socialization, to develop into healthy adult cats and bond with their families.
