About the Pets set: The USPS created 20 stamps to celebrate the many different animals we humans keep as companions. Each stamp pictures one species: puppies, betta fish, iguanas, hamsters, goldfish, kittens, rabbits, tortoises, guinea pigs, parrots, corn snakes, mice, hermit crabs, chinchillas, gerbils, geckos, cats, horses, parakeets, and dogs.
History the stamp represents: Newborn kittens are very vulnerable during the early weeks of life. They are nearly blind at birth and do not even open their eyes for the first seven to ten days. Their vision will take several weeks to fully develop. As kittens are unable to regulate their body temperatures until about three weeks old, they depend on their mothers for warmth, as well as for protection and nourishment.
Kittens will stay with their mother and littermates until strong enough to venture out. They are usually weaned after two months. As their motor skills continue to develop, they playfully run, jump, and explore. Kittens undergo rapid growth during the first four months, using about three times the energy of a grown cat.
Raising a kitten can be fun and rewarding. Though mischievous, they are generally easy to manage. They use a litter box by instinct and are very independent. Some training may be needed to teach kittens not to bite or scratch, but that behavior can be easily corrected. Experts recommend ignoring bad behavior and rewarding the good with treats and praise.
As they mature, kittens often outgrow some of their fun playfulness. But with the right amount of patience and socialization, they will become well-adjusted and affectionate companions.
