How do you open a orphaned kitten's eyes?

It is not a very good idea to open a kitten's eyes. It could damage a kitten's growth. Keep in mind that a kitten's eyes are fully open in four weeks. So, I suggest seeing a vet if the eyes are not developing and not opening after a long period of time.

When my cat was born it had its eyes closed then it's brothers and sisters had both there eyes open she only had one they eventually opened is there something wrong with my cat?

It is perfectly normal for a kitten's eyes to be shut for the first few weeks of their lives. Kittens are born completely blind, so even if her brothers and sisters had open eyes, they still would not be able to see anything. Some kitten's eyes open later or earlier than normal, but as long as the kitten's eyesight develops as normal, there is no reason to believe there is anything wrong with your cat.

If your week old kitten has brown eyes is he blind?

No! As long as the kitten's eye looks normal and has a pupil then it's fine. I have a semi-feral kitten who is blind in one eye. His eye is completley gray with no pupil. The kitten and his brother have brown eyes, apart from the blind eye which is gray! :P
