Hi there. You can age kittens by looking at their incisor teeth, these erupt at certain ages. Your veterinarian can also help you age your kitten based on the teeth. I hope that helps. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

Oh, sweet kitty! Its hard to tell if her eyes are open in the picture and hard to get perspective on her size. But I can tell you that if her eyes are still closed, she's probably less than 2 weeks old (usually their eyes open at about 8-14 days). Baby teeth start coming in at about 3 weeks old. So if her eyes are open and there are no baby teeth yet, she's probably somewhere around 2-3 weeks. If she's got a full mouth of baby teeth, she's probably about 6 weeks. I hope thats helpful!

Wow....you did a great job getting the second set of photos. I agree with the answer below....there are no adult teeth yet, but these kitties are pretty big. I would guess 12 weeks or 3 months. You should start to see some adult teeth coming in soon...the top two "front teeth" will come in first at 14 weeks or so.

At 4.5 months old Jasmine has already started loosing baby teeth and getting adult teeth. It starts with their tiny incisors around three and a half or 4 months, and finishes with the four canine teeth at around 6 months. Cats usually just swallow them, but occasionally you might find a tooth on the floor. Enjoy your kitty and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!
