The Neva Masquerade is a striking and elegant breed known for its vivid blue eyes and color-pointed coat. As kittens, they go through fascinating changes in both appearance and behavior that captivate their owners. From birth to six months, they experience rapid growth, developing their unique traits that make them stand out.
Neva Masquerade kittens are small, fluffy, and frequently lighter in color during the first few months of life than their adult counterparts. As they get bigger, their colors and markings get more intense. It is heartwarming and thrilling to watch them transform.
Not only do their bodies change, but their personalities also begin to develop. The early months are a very special time for any pet owner because these kittens are playful, inquisitive, and start to display their affectionate side.

At birth
A newborn kitten lacks hearing and vision. Babies’ umbilical cords fall off on day three; on day four, they initially hear background noise.
Cats do not see anything for the first 12 to 14 days of their lives, but they have a keen sense of smell, and they can identify their mother just by her scent. Their only source of nutrition for the first two weeks is their mother’s milk, which contains all the nutrients, antibodies, and building blocks needed for a kitten’s development and immunity.
Neva Maskrade’s newborn kittens:
Between one and six months of age, the Neva Masquerade kitten experiences amazing transformations in both appearance and behavior. They acquire their characteristic coat patterns, blue eyes, and lively personalities during this time. Owners can provide better care for their kittens and see the remarkable transformation of this rare breed by being aware of the stages of growth, from their first steps to becoming more independent.
2 weeks
The beasts open their eyes during their second week of life. At this age, children are developing acute hearing; they can already tell the source of an intriguing sound and follow it. Kittens are attempting to explore the world as it becomes more intriguing. However, they are having trouble maintaining their balance thus far—they hilariously go for a shit and get tangled in their own paws.
At this point, kittens start talking to their mothers and to each other. The kitten is still quite weak and fragile, so getting to know people should be done carefully. Gently stroke and gently caress it. Keep the kids close to their "nest" to avoid frightening them or making the mom-cat anxious.

The Neva Masquerade can already stand steadily on its paws, walk, and run clumsily in its third week of life. However, the infant still struggles with spatial orientation; she can trip and run into things. She is cutting her baby teeth, which fully erupt by the second month of life.
Kittens are growing accustomed to human contact; they enjoy being petted and scratched behind the ears, and they start purring when they see other animals with legs. The infants are starting to show an interest in playing with adults.
There are twenty-six baby teeth on the cat by the fourth week of life. After six months, they will progressively transition to permanent ones.
The infants are started on soft, liquid complementary foods. The animals are given a bowl of clean water, which they have already learned to drink from their mother cat. The initial deworming is done by the owner.

The mother cat stops caring for her offspring by the fifth week of its life. The owner transfers the babies to special food for kittens. Remember to incorporate complementary feeding of solid food to ensure complete development of the jaw and teeth. A growing organism needs 100 g of food per day to be fed adequately.
The babies start to groom themselves; they lick their muzzles and wipe themselves with their paws. They find the litter box by themselves and make use of it as intended.
The animals are fed solid, dry food during the sixth week. Five to six times a day is the frequency of feeding because of their rapid development. 20–40 g of food makes up one serving. When introducing new complementary foods, the owner should keep an eye on the animal’s condition and stool because unfamiliar foods can lead to gastrointestinal disorders and allergies.
By the seventh week of their lives, the animals are fully self-sufficient. However, they value human affection and care greatly. The animal’s diet consists of a mixture of liquid and dry food.
Neva Masquerade cats that are two months old find a new home. The breeder gives the new owners the kitten’s favorite item or toy to help the infant adjust to a new environment more quickly. Give the young cat enough time to investigate the area on his own, sniffing around.
Kittens are taught to have their eyes and ears cleaned as well as to have their long fur brushed. The newborns receive their first vaccination and are taken to the vet for a check-up.

The entire vaccination schedule has already been resolutely finished by a three-month-old cat. The infant plays with people and has complete trust in them. It is crucial that the owner handle the kitten with love and friendliness, but not to spoil it or ignore its antics. Instead, the owner should reprimand the animal in a disgruntled tone. An astute cat can tell that someone is angry by their tone of voice and facial expressions.

The kitten, who spends his entire day running around the apartment, is at his most active and has settled into his new residence. Pet owners need to take precautions for their pet’s safety, such as installing mosquito nets, hiding pointed or dangerous objects, and closing bathroom and toilet doors.
The kitten’s iris color has permanently changed by this age. Development somewhat slows down, and feedings are spaced out to occur four to five times per day.
The infant responds to its name and recognizes its owners. While the animal’s psyche is still malleable, it is time to educate it if it behaves inappropriately.

As their permanent teeth erupt, kittens may experience anxiety or become numb. When "scratches" are first trimmed, the veterinarian teaches the owner how to use "claw scissors" if he has never done so before.

The animal now eats three meals a day of adolescent food, having entirely switched to permanent dentition. The kitten is about the size of an adult cat. Its development will eventually focus more on gaining muscle and fat instead of growth.
This is the time (if needed) when cats are sterilized. The procedure must be completed prior to the onset of estrus.

The kitten will go through the following stages in the next six months of its life:
- 7 months: first seasonal molt. It is important to comb the animal on time, give it drugs to dissolve wool in the stomach.
- 8 months: if necessary, castrate cats.
- 10 months: the animal is transferred to adult food.
- 12 months: the frequency of feeding the cat is 2 times a day.
The Neva Masquerade is a fully grown animal with stable behavior and established habits by the time it reaches its first birthday.

It’s fascinating to follow a Neva Masquerade kitten’s development from birth to six months. In addition to developing their gorgeous appearance—bright blue eyes and distinct color points—during this time, their personalities start to come through.
New turning points are revealed at every developmental stage, from playful behaviors to physical development. Their coat thickness and fur patterns will change, and their curiosity and social skills will grow.
A six-month-old Neva Masquerade kitten has developed into an assertive and energetic young feline, prepared to gracefully and charmingly explore their surroundings.
