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.

I love to curl up on my owner's lap and have my ears rubbed. I got off to a bad start, was found under the hood of a car and was so black they thought I was a black cat. I was taken to the Humane Society where my owner (thankfully) found me and adopted me. I'm soooooo glad. Now I live in a nice house, get lots of food and love. There's a big dog that lives there too and we love to sniff each other and give lots of kisses. I get to sleep where I want, have lots of toys and am pretty much queen of the house. I love it!
