if your kitten was born in your home do not let it out of the house until it is two to three months old. if you have the mother, she will look after the kit. but if you have got the kit from a vet or dealer, keep it in for several weeks. when it does go out, you need to watch over it. the main problem is that it may easily get lost. in time, the kit will learn every inch of the house and garden. then, you can happily let it roam.
