7 week old kitten problems?

Question

So i got a kitten last year from the shelter and it was 12 weeks old. I was kinda sad that i missed out on her super cute stage but i new it was better to get a kitten at this age. I have had loads of friends that get kittens at 8 weeks old and these kittens always seem to turn out fine. They have no litter box problems or biting. My sister got a kitten yesterday and its 7 weeks and 3 days old. I told her to wait but she said its fine. What kind of problems could the kitten have. She said its using the litter box fine and eating perfectly but will it have temperment issues when its older?

7 weeks is old enough to be adopted.  I never had to train a cat to use the litter box they do it on their own.  If you never want the kitten to bite or scratch you never use you hands or feet as a play thing.

Use toys for play and only use your hands to pick them up or pet them they will see you hands as a good thing.  If you play rough with your hands the cat will learn to scratch and bite them.

A half dozen kittens do not speak globally for the thousands of kittens adopted!
