Kitten Eyes Completely Open after the First Couple Weeks. The kittens' eyes will gradually become wider after the first week or so of her life. They will continue to open further until somewhere between two and three weeks of age, at which point they will be open completely. A kitten's ears will also open about this time, but her eyes do open first, meaning that she will begin to develop first her sense of sight during these first few weeks of life.
Many kitten owners believe that how long till kittens open their eyes sets the standard for everything else, including how long until the kittens can be adopted. Most kittens can leave their mother as early as eight weeks, however it is much healthier for them if they stay until about twelve weeks. By twelve weeks, a litter of kittens can wreak havoc all throughout a house, climbing curtains, scratching couches, and even navigating their way up onto kitchen counters and tables.
