To determine the initial value for the weight of the kitten when its age is 0 weeks, we need to look at the given data in the table.

The table of values for the weight of the kitten at different ages (in weeks) is as follows:

| Kitten's Age (weeks) | 0 | 2 | 4 | 6 | 8 | 10 |
|----------------------|----|---|---|---|---|---|
| Weight (pounds) | 0.8| 1.4| 2.0| 2.6| 3.2| |

Here, the first row indicates the age of the kitten in weeks, and the second row shows the corresponding weight in pounds.

The question asks for the initial value, which is the weight of the kitten when its age is 0 weeks. By looking directly at the table, we can see that the weight of the kitten at 0 weeks (the very first data point) is 0.8 pounds.

Therefore, the initial value for the weight of the kitten is:

0.8 pounds.
