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.

Hiya. My name's Midnight. I love to just sit around in a cozy and sunny spot and just sleep. I don't like to play much with cat toys. I prefer to go outside and play let's see who can catch the birdy first! I hate it when Chew-Chew comes and wakes me up. =/
I've had 3 litters of kittens totaling 15. 8 in my first, 3 in my second, and 4 in the most recent one.
I'm off to take a nap. *Yawn*
