Cats are also widely kept pets by many parents, but many parents don't know much about cats, especially about newborn kittens, because many parents don't like cats Breeding, so I don’t know much about kittens. As for the newly born kittens, what parents need to pay attention to? Parents still need to understand, and maybe they will use it in the future.

The cat was born blind and deaf, and couldn't heat itself, and needed the help of the mother cat to go to the toilet. A cat's nose isn't fully developed until three weeks old, but it can tell its mother's smell right from birth. Kittens sleep very long at this time, so if they are barking, they are usually too cold, unwell, or hungry. The mother cat will use her tongue to stimulate the anus of the kitten so that the kitten will excrete.

Kittens are born with a weight of about 100 grams and double in size after about two weeks. A kitten under two weeks of age has a normal heartbeat of more than 200 beats per minute and a breathing rate of about 15-35 beats per minute. The body temperature of newborn kittens is low, about 35-36 ℃, and it will slowly rise within 1-2 weeks after birth, until it rises to about 37.7 ℃ at four weeks of age.

Kittens are born with a sense of pain, but the neuromuscular reflexes associated with pain are not fully developed until 7 days of age. The eyes will open 5-14 days after birth, and the iris at this time will appear gray-blue, which is the so-called gray-blue eyeball. In the next few weeks, the eyes will slowly change to the color that the adult cat will have, but the kitten will have enough normal vision at about 3-4 weeks of age. 7-14 days old will slowly start to crawl, on the 16th day will start to sway and learn to walk, and by the 21st day, the pace will be more mature and steady.

A cat usually doesn't walk steadily until the third week, and before that, it can only be moved by the mother cat. At two weeks of age, cats will develop their first set of teeth and can basically go to the toilet on their own at three weeks. At this time, the cats will also start to play, and the cats around the age will bite and play with each other, and they will also learn how not to hurt each other. Kittens start weaning at the fifth week, start eating hard food, and become independent too. At this time, the cat's sense of balance has been fully developed, and it also knows how to groom. This period is a learning period for cats, and they must learn to recognize themselves and other animals.

A cat is two months old and has fully developed muscles, but it still takes a lot of exercise to accurately judge distance, height and speed. Hunting skills were also learned during this period. Generally speaking, it is best for kittens to leave their mother after they are three months old, because cats have a sense of territory and a good sense of direction when they are three months old.
