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 name is Zach. I was born in Long Branch, September 24, 2004. I was adopted by my Mommy and Daddy along with my twin sister, Zoie, on Christmas Eve 2004. My sister and I were so happy to have a safe and happy home to go to for the holidays and forever. We were a little nervous at first as we were at the shelter before with all the other kittens and cats. Another family was interested in adopting one of us at the same time my Mommy showed up with her paperwork, but since my Mommy and Daddy came by to adopt us the night before but couldn't take us home because my Mommy didn't have her lease paperwork that night, the couple let my Mommy adopt us both. We were so happy to go home with her and Daddy together. I couldn't have imagined what life would be like apart from my twin sister, Zoie. Zoie and I play all day and sleep all day. We take care of each other and give alot of love to our Mommy and Daddy. We live by the beach and look out our window to see the ocean and all the people on the boardwalk. We watch the birds all day. We have tons of toys to play with but love when Mommy and Daddy plays with us. I have to wake up Mommy in the morning to make sure she goes to work. I kiss Mommy and Daddy on their faces. I love my feather wand toy. I love to chew the blinds as a baby kitten and I hope I grow out of it (I know my Mommy does). I love cardboard boxes and biting/customizing my box. I love to sleep with my sister in my big bed. I dislike loud noises like the vacuum cleaner.
