The age of a kitten can be judged by observing the following aspects:
Appearance: Observe the appearance of the kitten, including hair, ** and eyes, etc. Newborn kittens have no hair on their bodies and their eyes are not fully open, and they only slowly open after about a week. As they get older, the kitten's hair will gradually become thicker and its eyes will gradually become larger.
Teeth: Observe the growth of the kitten's teeth. Newborn kittens have no teeth, and after about a week, they start to erupt baby teeth, and they will grow in about three months. If the kitten's teeth are already full, it is at least three months old.
Movements: Observe the kitten's movements, including walking, running, and jumping. Newborn kittens don't walk yet, and they don't start walking slowly until about a month later. As they get older, kittens become more coordinated and flexible in their movements.
Sound: Observe the kitten's voice. Newborn kittens don't make sounds and don't start making sounds until about a month later. As the kitten grows older, its voice becomes richer and clearer.
Weight: Observe the change in the kitten's weight. Newborn kittens weigh very little and gradually gain weight after about a month. Generally speaking, a kitten around three months old should weigh around 1 kg.
Based on the above observations, we can roughly judge the age range of the kitten. It should be noted that the above methods are for reference only, and if you want to determine the specific age of the kitten, it is best to ask a professional veterinarian for identification.
