How do I determine the age of my kittens?

Answer by  antrobus (140)

You can get a rough idea of their age from their size, though this isn't totally accurate. Their hunting and eating habits are also indicators. A vet office can give you a better idea but looking at a cats teeth, but they can't be 100% certain of the cat's age.

At 7-10 days kittens open their eyes. At 3-4 weeks they wean and start eating solid food, but will still suckle as long as Mom will let them. From 4-8 weeks they are fairly independent and putting on their second weight gain, fur gets less fine, more coarse.

Teeth is a good determining factor in the age of a cat. Less teeth in a smaller cat means it's a younger cat.

If the kitten is 2-3 pounds, it is most likely 8-12 weeks old. If it is under 2 pounds, it is likely younger than 8 weeks.
