Yes, as Rafiki says, just snap hundreds of pictures and delete a LOT! That's what I do

So glad to hear you are making progress with Cirilla! Some cats just don't like being touched or picked up, they prefer it to be their choice when to make human contact. However, there are so many other ways they can provide an exciting and rewarding life it's easy to not even miss it after awhile...

Today was a breakthrough day! While following my daily feeding and playing and many compliments, Ciri decided to climb on me while at the computer. She layed across my lap and went to sleep. After our second play she did it again and bumped my hand with her head. I got brave and gently pet her back and head and she went to sleep! I'd never thought I'd be so excited! I did my best to get a tummy shot, but my baby is marbled, so no spots

Don't worry about the 10 weeks. I got my F2 boy at 7 weeks and wouldn't do it any other way. He was eating and using his litter box. The best bonding time was when he was that small. No wonder so many of these kittens have a hard time relocating to their forever homes. At 12 weeks, they have already bonded to the breeder.

That is completely NOT true. There are very good reasons the TICA responsible breeders program states kittens are to be a minimum of 12 weeks and had at least 2 vaccines. At 7 weeks the kitten wouldn't have been able to mount a proper immune response, even if the breeder had vaccinated it. So it is not appropriate to rehome kittens at that age. Besides the fact they are not adequately eating and digesting solids at that age, and have many other social skills to learn from their mother and siblings.

Don't let those belly spot freaks pressure you!
Those were nice pictures!
That is so false. So many more owners have issues with kittens homed before they are immunologically and psychologically ready for such a huge change. Why would breeders advocate this if not for this being a better idea...instead of being able to get kittens out sooner? I'm sure it would be much easier to let kittens leave earlier, not to mention more economical.
You may have found it ok for you but you have no idea how he might have been as a confident outgoing 12 week old from a good breeder. You were fortunate to not experience the issues that others have, that rescue and pet groups see all the time from less lucky buyers.
Totally agree with the others, seven weeks is far too young to separate a kitten from its mother and siblings! Even if there are no social issues (inappropriate biting, scratching, etc.) I would not be surprised if he doesn't develop IBD and/or food allergies from being forced onto solids at such an early age.
