Kitten Within the first 2 days after birth, kittens acquire passive immunity from their mother’s milk. Milk within the first few days of parturition is called colostrum, and contains high concentrations of immunoglobulins. These include immunoglobulin A and immunoglobulin G which cross the intestinal barrier of the neonate. The immunoglobulins and growth factors found in the colostrum begin to establish and strengthen the weak immune system of the offspring. Kittens are able to chew solid food around 5–6 weeks after birth, and it is recommended that 30% of their diet should consist of solid food at this time. The kitten remains
Bilinear form form on a normed vector space is elliptic, or coercive, if there is a constant such that for all , Given a ring "R" and a right "R"-module "M" and its dual module "M", a mapping is called a bilinear form if for all , , . The mapping is known as the "natural pairing", also called the "canonical bilinear form" on . A linear map induces the bilinear form , and a linear map induces the bilinear form . Conversely, a bilinear form induces the "R"-linear maps and . Here, "M" denotes the double dual of "M". Bilinear form
