At three weeks they're still nursing, and still cannot see. Kittens only start to open their eyes at around three weeks, and start to walk around at four weeks. Mother cats normally begin weaning their kittens at around four to six weeks at the very earliest, and it takes some time for the process to be complete. Most kittens are ready to leave when they reach 12 weeks old.

It's possible to hand raise a kitten that is even younger, if it is abandoned or orphaned. However, the ideal food for kittens is milk from the mother cat, so it's best to go the natural route if that's at all feasible.

Can you give a kitten dry cat food at 4 weeks old?

Kittens usually begin the weaning process around 4-6 weeks of age. They begin by taking an interest, or picking at their mother's solid food. At this age they will still be suckling and getting nutrients from their mother, but putting a tiny bit of wet food down every few hours will entice them to eat. You could see if they will lick food off your fingertip or off their own paws. This first stage can take several days. Mushed up wet food, or wet food that is throughly mixed with a little water or kitten milk is the best type of food for them right now. It is easy for them to eat and digest. It is advisable not to try dry food as, even softened with water, kittens may still not be able to eat it. As the kittens get older and bigger, you can slowly decrease the amount of water or kitten milk you use in the food, and leave slightly larger chunks for them to chew. Be sure to feed them from a plate and not a bowl, as it is easier for the kittens to pick up the food.

After having your ears pierced how long do you keep the earring in for?

Hi, I just got my ear lobes peirced yesterday and i was told i had to leave them in for six weeks. After the six weeks i can take them out but i always have to have a stud in for half a year, after half a year you can wear hanging earings. If you got your ear cartilage peirced you need to leave them in for 8-12 weeks. after that you cant take them out but you always have to have a stud in for a year. then you can wear dangly earaings. thanks bye
