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.

Everyone calls me Precious, or Princess! I'm not at all like my two monster babies, Rascal and Rowdy - something strange happened there! Here I am, a perfectly adorable, dainty, 8 pound kitty, and I gave birth to those two overgrown oafs - they are currently registering 16 and 17 pounds each! I'm always getting squashed when they decide to use me as a pillow - can you imagine getting buried under 33 pounds of flab on a daily basis? I'm constantly having to keep them in line. I find a good bop on the head once or twice a day will usually put them in their place. The monsters are so disgusting, and their table manners are atrocious! They pig out on all of the food and usually don't leave any for me. I like to play outside, but only when the weather is perfect! I can't stand smudging my dainty little white feet or getting them the least little bit damp or cold. I'll find a warm, dry spot, pretend to shiver and refuse to move - it's a good way to get picked up and carried, tucked into a nice warm jacket! I'm extremely particular about what I'll play with - only mice and string! The monsters like to play with their toy balls, but I think it's so juvenile! Playing with string is much more elegant - you can just sit in one place and only bat at it when it swings by. You can email me and tell me how precious I am at poozie@cuteandcuddly.com By the way, you can see my two monsters at their own websites: Rascal and Rowdy. I have another website here, and you can also see all of us together. The newest member of the family is Punkin (my step-daughter?) and then there is my niece, Aja. Punkin is ok. So far she hasn't caused too many problems, so I've basically just left her alone. Aja, on the other hand, is really fun! I like to chase her whenever I see her, and I discovered that if I hit her really hard as she's running past, I can actually make her do sommersaults!
