Though it's not something you have any control over, your kitten's age is more than just a number.
Kitten Age By Week
Background. The kitten at the age of 6 weeks will generally weigh between 16 and 24 oz. Start slowly by mixing canned or dry cat food in with some kitten formula to make baby food (check the ingredients to make sure the food contains no onion, as this is toxic to cats).

Even more important than your kitten falling within a perfect range, week after week, on the above chart, it is important toensure that kittens are gaining roughly ¼ to ½ an ounce every day, or 1.75 to 3.5 ounces every week. At two weeks of age, kittens' eyes will be fully open and baby blue. A kitten starts taking on new experiences at the age of 3 weeks and continues to learn.
A healthy kitten will grow more confident around the fifth and sixth weeks of its life.
Kitten development is a process that occurs in the first six to 18 months of a cat's life. Once you know his age, you'll know if you need to stimulate him to potty or provide a litter box. Your kitten is about to get a little nosey. Litters now require more resources and time for their care, so individuals will do better in a new, loving home.
