www.barkandwhiskers.com/2023-07-15-kitten-developmentStory at-a-glance In just eight weeks, kittens go through major developmental changes that take them from newborns, with eyes closed and ears folded, to fully weaned kitty At 1 week, kittens’ eyes are closed and claws are non-retractable; they’re about double their birth weight and will be very sleepy By 3 weeks, kittens begin to explore and walk around their environment. Some may even explore their litter box or show interest in toys With vision fully developed, and a sense of adventure emerging, 5-week-old kittens grow more independent each day, and their individual personalities may begin to show By weeks 7 and 8, kittens continue to transition into miniature versions of their adult selves and will run, jump and climb as much as possible My notes: I thought this was a cute article! I grew up with barn cats so I'm used to seeing all ages around. Fortunately, we've gotten wiser & there's more TNR (Trap Neuter Return) out there to help with the population.
