Very well written. I actually don’t think you missed much. After a lifetime of cats I wish I knew how important those first 12 weeks are when I was young. I would have a lot more fun and less trauma with my cats. I learned these things you printed the hard way. Car and Vet trips are so much easier. Want a great kitten get one raised by a family with other dogs, cats, and kids. I intentionally now introduce my kittens to these concepts as soon as we bond. Borrow a friend’s dog. Let kitty have an overnight with young kids. Etc.
