Your cat gave birth to kittens! What could be better? Only to watch as they grow and learn about their development more. As they turn from little blind kittens in the big beautiful cats as they study the big beautiful world. But when? When will that be?! When the kittens opened their eyes when they begin to walk, to eat, to play? Here are some questions most often beginners of kotovladeltsev. And to answer them, you need to study in detail the development of the kittens.
The cat is considered a newborn kitten until the 8th week of life inclusive, i.e. up to 2 months. By the way, after this period they can be sold, as at this time they are fully developed. So, what's happening with the kittens at certain stages of development? Below is a table in which I describe all the development of the kitten.
Week of life | Description of development |
1st | Can Not by itself control the temperature of your body needs attention of the mother. 7-10 days is the period when kittens open eyes. Can locate food by smell. |
2nd | The kitten's hearing is developing, the baby intensively gaining weight. The kittens are 2 weeks look like this: |
3rd | Kittens become curious and restless, eager to explore the world. |

5th | Vision kittens fully developed, they can be weaned from the breast (to start feeding solid food). |
6th | Time to be vaccinated, depending on lifestyle definitively the nature of the kitten. |
7th | Kittens formed adult sleep, every day they stay awake for 3-4 additional hours. |
8th | Kittens are fully wean from the breast and finally switched to solid food. It is possible to determine the sex of a kitten. The kids are noisy and playful. |
Perhaps, when reading the descriptions of the fourth week you notice the phrase "the eyes of a kitten change color". No, I'm not mistaken, this is indeed the case. When the kittens opened their eyes, they are always blue. Over time, they are a kaleidoscope of changing color. Some time they can be every color, and multiple colors can be present in a single eye, for example, green eyes with yellow spots. But it's not terrible, all of them acquire the same color.
To the table it would be appropriate to add a couple of notes on the master role in the development of the cat's offspring. When kittens are teething, it is advisable to buy them a toy that would play for them, the dual role of entertainment and as a trainer for new teeth. These toys are sold in any pet store. They look something like this:
