kitten question
Hello there.
I have 4 days old kittens at home. One of them already has its eyes half open. I know usually it takes 7 to 10 days (I think?)... So is it normal that this kitten's eyes are already opening ? Thanks Mia |

So is it normal that this kitten's eyes are already opening ? Probably not, since it's outside of the given range (I believe I've seen them start to open as early as five days with a couple of ours) , but it shouldn't be all that much of a problem. Double check with a vet to be sure though. -- Dennis Carr - | I may be out of my mind, http://www.dennis.furtopia.org | But I have more fun that way. ------------------------------------+------------------------------- |

Thanks hailey...
Momma Misha is doing wonderful. The birth went really good. She had 5 kittens, all born between 4h15 pm and 8h20 pm. She did it really fast we were amazed. All kitties are alive and seem in very good health. Momma Misha has plenty of milk, kitties seem contented. They are growing fast. It looks like out of the bunch we have 4 males and one female, but I am not 100% sure yet. Misha is one proud momma and loves to come and get us and walk us to the box and jump in and start purring... She looks at kittens... looks at us... says "bruuuu" and then looks at kittens again and lays down and feeds them and as soon as we talk to her or touch her... she "bruuu's" and makes happy feet and purrs. She snuggles with her babies and "bruuu's" some more. She is so cute She is a good momma and takes good care of them. I am happy about that. Mia, Misha and the bunch. "Hailey" wrote in message ...
