MY MANUAL: "You Can Save Me - The Indispensable Guide to Caring for Orphaned Kittens" is available at this link: https://amzn.eu/d/fD9Z1x4. In this video, I'll explain how to easily identify the age group of the kitten you've found. It's crucial to understand how many days or weeks a kitten is: in the first few weeks of its life, it could die in a matter of hours if you don't know how to care for it. NEW KITTEN: The umbilical cord is still attached. If it's moist and still orange-reddish in color, the kitten is only 1-2 days old. If it's brown and drier, it's about 2-6 days old. The cord usually falls off between 3 and 6 days. The cord falls off on its own and should NEVER be forcibly removed! The eyes are closed and the ears are closed and flattened on the head. He can move but crawls on his belly and is unable to stand on his legs. He can lift his head as if he were flapping the air. His weight is between 85 and 120 grams (the average is 100 grams). PREMATURE NEWBORN KITTEN If, in addition to these characteristics, the tips of his paws are almost hairless and very pink, and the area around his nose is very pink, you have a premature kitten. Any kitten weighing less than 75 grams is at high risk. 1 WEEK OLD The kitten's eyes are still closed or are just beginning to hatch, starting from the inside. The ears are still flattened but no longer sealed. The tummy is rounder. It can crawl on its belly and can hold its head up for a few seconds. Its weight is between 150 and 250 grams. At 10 days old, kittens play while lying on their backs and waving their front paws in the air. 2 WEEKS The kitten's eyes have opened fully and are a deep blue. His ears resemble those of a teddy bear; they are small and round. His movements are still very uncoordinated. The kitten is wobbly, but he can hold his head up and stand on his paws for increasingly long periods. His weight is between 250 and 350 grams. 3 WEEKS His ears are starting to take on a slightly more pointed shape, but they are still a little low on his head. His movements are still wobbly, but he can walk on his paws without his belly touching the ground. The first tiny teeth are starting to appear. His weight is between 350 and 450 grams. 4 WEEKS His ears are now characteristically pointed. His movements are becoming more confident. The kitten walks with his tail held straight like a small antenna, and he can even do small hops. In addition to the front teeth, the premolars may have already erupted. Some cats at this age can nibble on something on their own, especially if they have been hungry for a long time. The kitten is interested in exploring the environment and is starting to play. Its weight is between 450 and 550 grams. 5 WEEKS The ears are increasingly pointed and open. It is able to run. The premolars have erupted. If wet food is offered, the kitten is often able to feed itself. It is increasingly curious and interested in toys and playing with its siblings. Its weight is between 550 and 650 grams. 6 WEEKS The eye color begins to change from blue to its final color, slowly fading. It is definitely able to eat on its own. When not sleeping or eating, it spends all its time running, jumping, climbing, and playing with whatever it finds. Its weight is between 650 to 750 grams 7 WEEKS The kitten's eyes have reached their final color: if the kitten already has an eye color other than deep blue or a shade of blue, it is definitely older than 7 weeks. It plays, jumps, runs, and climbs constantly. It already has the appearance of a miniature cat. Its weight is between 750 and 850 grams. At 8 weeks, it weighs approximately 850-950 grams. WARNING! Two things can be misleading when determining a kitten's age: Eye opening and weight Don't focus solely on these aspects. Conjunctivitis is very common in kittens, and I've often found 3-4 week-old kittens with their eyes still closed. In this case, however, you'll notice crusting around the eyes or the eye is very inflamed and swollen. Regarding weight, however, I've sometimes found kittens whose weight doesn't even match their actual age, due to nutritional deficiencies or poor health. When trying to determine a kitten's age, focus on the following: EYES EARS MOVEMENT PRESENCE OR ABSENCE OF TEETH ABILITY OR ABILITY TO EAT ON ITS OWN #newbornkitten #kitten #kittens #abandonedkitten SOCIAL MEDIA:   / laryeilmondodeigattini     / lary_gattini   BLOG: https://www.laryeilmondodeigattini.it/
