2 Week Old Kittens

Question
Our mama cat had 4 kittens two weeks ago. All have their eyes open and are wobbling around. They will also respond to our voices now and move toward us. One of the kittens, the runt of the litter, does not seem to be developing as well as the other 3. He eats well but can not seem to balance his head and just kind of rolls around rather than crawling like the others. Is something wrong with this kitten or is he just developing more slowly because of his small size? Thanks for your response.

Answer
Lee Ann,

You will just have to keep an eye on the littlest one.  If he turns himself around and begins to have more normal development, this will be a good thing. On the other hand, if he is really fat, he can exhibit the behaviors you are talking about.  In another couple of weeks, you should begin weaning them and you will have a much better idea about how this one will develop.

Please let me know how he does or if you have any further questions.

Best regards.. Norm.
