Question

Kittens do not normally open their eyes until how long after being born?

Answer 1

Kittens do not normally open their eyes until seven to ten days after being born.

Kittens are born completely helpless and rely on their mother for warmth, food, and protection. They are born with their eyes and ears closed, and do not begin to see or hear until around two weeks of age. Kittens also do not begin to walk until around three weeks of age.

Answer 2

Kittens develop at differing rates depending on several factors, but most newborns will begin opening their eyes between the ages of 2-16 days. Their vision slowly improves during this time, though the two eyes may not fully open at the same rate.
