Question
I have a litter of three kittens. They are about 2 1/2 weeks old.  I noticed that one of the kittens back legs are more outwards than the other two. He seems to pull himself rather than try to wobble. Have you ever seen a kittens like this?

Answer
Hi Samantha,

Kittens take a little while before they get their legs under them.They start to crawl about,(like yours), at about 18 days. Then,at around 21 days, they start to stand. On the 25th day they should start orienting themselves with sight and sound. Your little one sounds fine so far. Just keep an eye on him. Good luck. Write back if you have any other questions.

Ciao, Karen
