Kittens usually open their eyes around 8-14 days old. There are some differences due to different individuals and varieties, and it may be a few days earlier or delayed.

When a kitten opens its eyes, there will be only a small slit in the eye at first. As time goes by, it will slowly open. Pet owners need to pay attention to the kitten’s eyes when raising them. During the eye-opening stage, pet owners must not use their own hands to open the kitten's eyes to help it open its eyes. Not only will this not help, but it will cause eye diseases. Therefore, during this process, you need to be patient and wait slowly. It opens on its own.

If you encounter a kitten that has not opened its eyes for more than ten days or other abnormal emergencies, you can take it directly to the pet hospital for examination.

Notes on opening the kitten’s eyes:

1. During the period when the kitten opens its eyes, the owner cannot directly open the cat’s eyes. It may cause severe vision loss in the cat and lead to direct blindness.

2. Don’t let the sun shine directly into the cat’s eyes, as this can easily cause damage to the immature eyes.

3. During the period of opening the eyes, the owner needs to always pay attention to the cat’s eye hygiene.
