If it is food related then at approx 4 months old I put mine on adult food from then on as kitten food is very rich for their tums!  ;)
Kitten's will have their adult teeth by 7 months old!

Now if its antics you are wondering about well....I have a two and nearly half year old curtain swinger, I have a one and a half year old feet in the bed grabber.....

My Pippa (dont know age) but she has just taught at least 4 of my cats how to pull the rubber sealant away from the sides of the double glazing!  :Crazy:

I would'nt change any of them though as I loves my quirky lot!  :evillaugh:

Seriously, there is no set point but I think they become adults around 5 or 6 months when they become sexually mature. Kitten or cat is only a label though really.

Socially they are adults around 3 years, this is the age behaviourists say problems can start in multicat homes. Simon is nearing 3 and i see him changing, he is becoming more dominant and has a bigger ego  :evillaugh:

Food wise i changed them to adult at 6 months or a bit before as they had sensitive tums.

How old are your kittens now Tryme?

Yes, now you mention it MM that is when Sofie began asserting herself in the household. Stopped sleeping on the sofa and started encroaching on bedspace...
