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.

My favorite thing to do is to eat. That's why I weigh so much! I expect a helping of tuna every morning as a reward for sitting on my people's heads during the night. I am so fat that my gut hangs down like cow udders. My second favorite thing to do is to burrow myself underneath the covers and sleep. However, I have nearly been squashed by my people if they don't know I'm under there! I am not allowed to go outside, so my main goal in life is to escape from the house! But I get very frightened when I succeed. I have been described by my people as "surly" - my picture may explain this - but I am very loving when I want to be. (Okay, that's not very often.) When I feel like being nice, I like to lie on my people's chests, press my forehead against theirs, and drool all over them. That's how they know I love them!
