CATDOLL : How to determine the age of a kitten?

Determining a kitten's age:

1. Umbilical cord: If you see a kitten and its umbilical cord has not fallen off, it should be no more than three days old.

2. Eyes. Generally speaking, kittens open their eyes around 10 days old, which is an average number.

3. Ears. When a baby is just born, the ear canal is closed. It starts to open between the 5th and 8th day and can stand up around the 15th to 20th day.

4. Teeth. The order of teeth growth is generally: incisors (10-15 days), canines (15-25 days), and molars (30-40 days).

Cat's growth stages:

1. A newborn cat refers to a cat that has just been born. It is very fragile and needs to be taken care of in any daily activities. It cannot take care of itself.

2. Kitten stage refers to the period from birth to weaning. At this time, cats will open their eyes to see the world, be curious about everything, and must rely on their mother cats or humans for care.

3. The kitten stage refers to the period from weaning to about one year old. Cats in this period are the most curious and active in their lives and will learn all the skills and lifestyles of cats.

4. Adult cat stage refers to cats from one to ten years old. This stage is the longest and is also the most important stage in the life of cats. During this stage, the task of reproduction and all the trivial matters of life are completed. Cats in this period are the most vigilant and alert to the surroundings.

5. The old cat stage refers to cats over 10 years old. Cats at this stage have degraded physical functions and are no longer active, so they need careful care from their owners.
