No. When a kitten is born their ears aren't much more than flaps. As the cat grows the ears grow and get pointy. The kittens ears look somewhat folded shut with all enternal parts covered and protected. When the kitten is just a few months old the ears start to take on the adult appearance.

No, kittens are not born with full-sized ears. They are born with small ears that grow with them as they get older.

No, kittens ears are folded down and their eyes are shut when they are born. They are born blind and mostly deaf.

No. Kittens are born with their ears folded shut, to muffle their hearing, perhaps giving an illusion to size. Ears will grow larger just as their bodies do.

I don't know if they are full size, but I do know that they funny with big ears. My sister had a cat that was a kitten and he had giant ears, he actually looked kind of funny with them. I had a friend once who named their cat Radar since he had huge ears when he was born.

No, kittens are not born with full-sized ears. They are born with ears that are proportionate to their heads. As they grow older, their ears will also grow to be the size of a normal cat's ears. However, at birth they will have small ears in addition to small paws and a small tail.
