Kitten Development Stages – Pet Tip 249

When we bring a kitten home for the first time to adopt it as a pet, it should be between nine and twelve weeks old. This is so the kitten has a chance to spend time with its mother and so that the kitten becomes socialized with its littermates and learns proper kitten behaviour. But what happens before the kitten comes home? This article will outline some of the important milestones in kittenhood in an effort to familiarize you with some of the stages of kitten development.

Kittens are born blind and deaf and they remain that way for around the first fourteen days of their lives. They use their sense of smell to find their way toward their mothers for nourishment and heat. They really need to stay close to their mothers for these first few weeks as they are unable to regulate their own body temperature. The umbilical cord typically falls off after the first few days of life.

Hello, I'm Higgins.
I'm pretty laid back and nothing really seems to bother me...My brother and I are currently learning to go in the toilet. My mummy's having fun with this, and I'm doing really well!
I LOVE to be snuggled and you can pet or scratch me behind the ears and on my neck and chest, but DON'T touch my belly unless you want to playfight.
I'm an indoor cat and I'm VERY curious about outdoor things. My mummy and daddy think I used to live outdoors because I seem to know what things like birds and bugs are and I respond to them like outdoor kitties do.
For the most part, I get along well with my little brother and I love to see family and friends. I'm VERY friendly and I would probably go home with you if you asked me to come.
