My mom was handed this kitten by a contruction worker that found her in a mud puddle. She's had her for 6 weeks in this video and when she got her she had her eyes open but her ears were down, so we're figuring she had to be at least a week old, which would make her 7 weeks. However, most of the kitten videos we've looked at of 7 and 8 week old kittens show kittens much bigger than she is. She weighs only 14 oz. The other confusing thing was that our vet (who has been in practice for almost 50 years, so he knows what he's doing) approximated her at 3 weeks when my mom brought her in, the day after receiving her. Now, the vet is thinking that she was younger than he thought, just because she isn't gaining the weight that he expected. We're wondering if she's what they call a "dwarf" cat? If anyone has any input it would be much appreciated! Thanks!
