Ways to tell the age of a baby kittens. Newborns up to the 10 days have their eyes closed . If a kitten has blue eyes, it is less than 7 weeks old. If the kitten has the umbilical cord attached it is less than 3 days old. Checking a kitten's teeth is a good way to determine how old the kitten is. The centre incisors will erupt from the gums at about 3 weeks, outer incisors about 4 weeks, canines about 4 weeks, upper molars about 8 weeks, lower molars about 5 weeks. Kittens will eat independently at 5 weeks of age. Kittens under 3 weeks aren't toilet trained.
Yes. But this will only work sometimes usually if the mother your giving the kitten to has lost one of her own.
they cant
The best way to figure out a cat's age is to take it to your veterinarian and ask for his/her opinion. I got a kitten at about 6 months of age (it was found abandoned in a corn field), and based upon when she got her full size we estimated that was about the one year mark.
It is programmed to cry for help till it gets it or it dies...
It means you need to take it home and look after it !! good luck :)
Not all the time. Usually then the mother will get more aggressive with her owners about touching the kitten.
take it to a vet.
there really is no age... when the kitten first leaves its mother it misses her and wants her to come to it.. once the kitten gets used to its new house and new people they will stop.. and start purring more
Just a little bigger than a normal kitten is. They obviously get larger as they grow, but are maybe a third larger than a normal kitten. However it depends on the age of the kitten

No, they grow up. Kittens become adult cats around one year of age.
Adopt an older cat! There are way too many cats that are abandoned in shelters to be buying kittens from breeders.
