Newborn kittens will generally start to move around in the first few hours. Their eyes will not have opened yet, however, and their mother will be guarding them closely, so they won't get more than a few inches away from her. If a kitten doesn't appear to be moving within these few hours there is a good chance it was stillborn. Don't try to intervene if this appears to be the case. The mother will know what to do. Often she will eat the kitten; this is perfectly natural, don't try to stop her. Within four to ten days (normally about the time they have developed a coat of fur), most kittens are able to stand properly and stagger short distances. Up until the age of around four to six months, they will appear drunk when walking; this is quite normal, and is because their hearing, sight and balance are not yet fully developed. (It can also be quite amusing to watch!)

Will a kitten die if it can't stand or walk and just lies there and breathes and doesn't eat?
Yes the kitten will die as it needs mother's milk or formula from the vet and will have to be bottle fed by the owner. It's not uncommon for other female cats or dogs who have had a litter to nurse a new born kitten. If this isn't possible please take your kitten into the vets for a good checkup and formula. You will have to feed the kitten often during the day and night and if you aren't able to do this or take on the responsibility then let the vet know this and either they will or find a foster home where the foster care worker will do it.
