i have a kitten. i have had her for about...9 days. she is 7 weeks old. whenever i put her down and leave the room. she starts freaking out. like running around and meowing like crazy. when i go back in a pick her up, she falls asleep, starts purrring and calms down. can anyone give me any advice on what to do??

Your kitten probably misses its mother...Imagine how you would feel (and what you would do) if you were taken from your mom/dad at a very, very young age and had to live with a total stranger. You would probably be scared. I think for the first month you need to try and spend as much time with your kitten as possible; let it sleep in your room, let it stay with you while you watch tv. You might want to get a heated blanket for it to sleep with (see link below)...the kitten is used to sleeping close to its mother and being warm; that's probably why it falls asleep in your arms. You could even use a hot water bottle and cover it with a blanket or two.
