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.

Konichiwa! My name is Akiko! (that's Japanese for Autumn Child) I am a little crazy, since I sprint around the house, like to sleep on my owner's head and eat flowers and plants, but I get away with it because I'm so cute and because my owner loves me so much! I like to play with my favourite mouse toy and love playing with plastic bottle caps. I'm a little shy with strangers, but become friendly once they show me enough attention! My owner wants me to act more like the lazy cats that sleep all day, but since I'm still a kid, I'm gonna run and play all I want! Maybe for the rest of my life. I love my owner too, and like to kiss her on the nose and snuggle with her at night!
