Hi there! Determining your kitten's age can be a bit tricky, but there are a few indicators that can help you estimate whether they're closer to 2 or 3 months old.
At around 2 months (8 weeks), kittens typically weigh about 2 pounds and are quite active, though they may still be honing their coordination skills. They will have all their baby teeth, which appear small and a bit translucent.
By 3 months (12 weeks), your kitten will likely weigh 3 pounds and be more agile, energetic, and independent. Their baby teeth will look more developed and their adult teeth might just be starting to erupt.
Pay attention to their behavior and size, too. A 3-month-old is often more adventurous and social than a 2-month-old.
For now, make sure your kitten has access to plenty of food and water and a safe environment to play and explore. Watch for signs of discomfort like persistent sneezing, coughing, or lethargy, as these could indicate a health issue. If your kitten isn't eating or seems overly tired, it's best to consult a vet.
If you're still unsure about your kitten’s age, I’d recommend booking a video consult with one of our vets on Dial A Vet. We’d be happy to assess any specific details you're noticing and give you more tailored advice.

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
