Kittens that still have their umbilical cords attached are 3 days or younger. Their eyes open between 7-10 days. When their ears stand up they are between 3-4 weeks. If they are just starting to eat solid food they are about 4 weeks, if they are eating solid food on their own they are between 6-8 weeks.
