One Day Old: Newborn kittens are very tiny and you
can hold them in the palm of your hand. They can't
see yet, but they can smell. All they can do is sleep
and drink their mother's milk.
One Week Old: Their weight doubles and their eyes
begin to open.
One Month Old: They start to sit up and play with
their siblings.
Two Months Old: They stop nursing and begin eating
food.
Three Months Old: They begin to lose their baby
teeth and new teeth grow in.
Six Months Old: They get along on their own without
their mother.
One Year Old: Kittens become full grown cats. Cats
can live many years. The average life expectancy of
an indoor cat is 14 years, but many live to be 20 years and
older.
