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.
About ten to 14 days after birth, the kitten will slowly start to open her eyes. It will begin as a thin slit. Slowly but surely the eyes will open completely and shed the film. Short haired kittens will usually open their eyes faster than long haired cats. When the cat first opens her eyes they will most likely look blue, but over time the actual color of the eyes will start to show.
