Knowing a kitten’s age is crucial for providing proper care. Here are some quick tips to determine how old your kitten is:
- Check the eyes: Kittens open their eyes at 7-10 days, and they are blue for the first 2-3 weeks.
- Teeth grow: Incisors at 2-3 weeks, canines at 3-4 weeks, premolars at 4-6 weeks. Full baby teeth by 8 weeks.
- Weight: A healthy kitten typically weighs about 10 ounces per week of age.
- Mobility milestones: Walking begins around 3 weeks, running and playing between 4-6 weeks.
