Kitten Growth Chart: What Is It?

A Kitten Growth Chart is needed to determine if a kitten is developing normally.

Alternate Name:

• Cat Growth Chart.

Remember that whatever numbers you see or start reading about, including those reflected on the chart are only averages; dependent on the breed, a kitten may weigh less or more than the norm. However, if a kitten seems to weigh considerably lower or considerably higher compared to the norm, you should see a veterinarian straight away to see if there is a problem.

A kitten's initial months of existence are a rush of changes that occur both in terms of physical development and appearance. This covers everything from:

• The weaning process and feeding;
• Consuming conventional food for cats;
• Kittens gradually opening their ears and eyes;
• Altering the color of the eyes;
• Acquiring teeth.

From the time a kitten is born until it forms into a full adult cat, many things can happen and sometimes even the most careful and attentive owners find it challenging to stay on top of all the things that need to be done and looked at. Using such charts acts as a reminder of what to look for.

The food requirements of cats fluctuate weekly as they go through each developmental stage. Consequently, owners must keep a Kitten Growth Chart to track the kitten's development in order to make sure that it is receiving the proper and appropriate amount of food. By keeping a close eye on this, it ensures that a kitten can be looked after correctly and allows for medical intervention at an early stage if the owner notices any unusual trends which can help to resolve any medical issues, if any are indeed discovered.
