"How long till kittens open their eyes actually depends on the length of their fur. The long haired cats will open their eyes on a much later schedule than a short haired cat. There is no scientific research to verify why this may be, but it appears to run true throughout every breed. Short haired kittens will often peep out at the world for the first time between 5 to 8 days after birth. Long haired kittens don’t see what they are groping at until somewhere around 10 to 14 days old. Mixed litters (those with both short haired and long haired kittens) will actually develop at different rates because of this unique difference."

"Most kittens can leave their mother as early as eight weeks, however it is much healthier for them if they stay until about twelve weeks."

Answer 4

uh....

Answer 5

i dont know when they open their eyes but they cant be seperated from their mom until6 to 8 weeks. it depends on how the kitten is doing. like if it is still nursing or if it can drink out of a bowl.

tip i just got a kitten that is 6 weeks old today and she wont eat regular kitten chow.  but she will eat canned kitten food and drink cat milk. plus before they leave their mom make sure they r fine without her first and r big enough to do stuff on their own.

hope this helps. and good luck!

Answer 6

about 10 days.

when has had enough and says " thats it! everybody out" . 8 - 12 weeks.

as soon as they eat solid food and stop nursing.

you dont separate them from mom, she does.
