The length of time can vary, as some brand new kittens will be able to see as soon as a day after birth. Some are a little more reluctant to see the world â they would rather wait a few more days before facing the cold, harsh realities of kittenhood. Relaxing in the sun on their backs.

A waning moon is any phase of the moon during the lunar cycle between the full moon and the new moon. It is a moon that is getting smaller every night. The lunar cycle is a period of about 29 days during which the moon's shape changes from our vantage on earth.
Different parts of the moon are illuminated during waxing and waning. In the Northern Hemisphere, the part of the moon that is illuminated will appear to grow from right to left until itâs full, and it will then diminish from right to left. A waxing moon will be illuminated on the right side, and a waning moon will be illuminated on the left side. Hold out your right hand with your thumb out, palm facing the sky. The thumb and forefingers make a curve like a backward C. If the moon fits in this curve, it's a waxing moon (increasing).
