Week 6
At six weeks old, he will receive his first deworming treatment. His socialization skills continue to develop. He can run, pounce, and leap, and can entertain himself endlessly. Toys, balls and mice become a part of his daily activities. Just as quickly he can fall asleep at the drop of a hat, (growing up is hard work).
Week 5
To us, it might seem early, but to a cat with several kittens, five weeks old is a good time to begin weaning. Between five and seven weeks, he can begin to take food from a shallow dish.
If you watch him carefully, you might see the first signs of the stealthy predator that will soon develop: skulking and pouncing, usually on a sibling. Again, we must watch him closely as they can become very rough with their littermates, and of course, their teeth and claws are very sharp.
Week 4
Week 3
At three weeks old, he is steadier on his feet, ranging a little further from mum, and exploring his surroundings. Though still pretty helpless, his sense of smell has begun to mature and with his slowly improving vision, he can find his mother without completely relying on scent. During this time, his teeth will also start to come through. Kittens at this age are able to learn to use the litter tray, but we must watch him closely to make sure that he doesn't try to eat the litter, as it can cause severe intestinal problems.
Week 2
Somewhere
around two and a half weeks of age, he will start to test his wobbly
legs. He will begin to crawl and attempt to stand. By the end of the
second week, he will have gained his sense of hearing, as the ear
canals completely open.
Also toward the end of the second week,
his eyes will open. The world will still be blurry to him, as it
takes a few days for the vision to completely adjust, but he will
start blinking those beautiful baby blues. Like many babies, he is
born with blue or bluish-gray eyes, and as he gets older, his eye
color will fully develop.
Week 1
After about four days, your kitten will have begun to develop his hearing, but sounds will still be muffled. After about five days, the remains of the umbilical cord will dry up and fall off. During the first week, a newborn kitten won't seem to nurse as much as the first few days, but each mealtime will be longer. This pattern of behavior will continue as he grows. He will purr when content, hiss when he feels threatened, and squeak when he is hungry, as a way of alerting his mother.
Day 2
Your newborn kitten is born both blind and deaf. His eyes are sealed shut and his ears are folded. A bit of umbilical cord will still be attached to his tummy. Your kitten will rely solely on its sense of smell to find his mother and begin to nurse. Your newborn kitten is truly helpless and needs its mother to care for his every need. A healthy newborn will want to nurse almost constantly.
