Can anyone tell me at what age do kittens eyes change from the milky blue to the color they have at adulthood? My kittys are 91/2 weeks old. And when will they develop thier adult coordination? They are always falling off the couch (very cute to watch) but I'm worried about the higher places.

four weeks is usually around the age that the kittens will change color, if they are going to. I think they should have there eye color that will keep. What color is the kittens? your kittens though might still be in that clumsy stange still. I have an 2 1/2 year old adult and she stills falls off things. lol.

Under the cats, mostly.
As above.... unless of course they're meant to have blue eyes! My Sprocket kept his kitten blue eyes
I had a 15 year old cat who never learned to stay on anything, so I think you're fine

Our orange tabby Tucker came to us with bright blue eyes (at the age of 8 weeks), they then changed to the gold color they are now a few months later. I was shocked that they could change so late.

All kittens are born with blue eyes. Eye color begins changing at 9-11 weeks, but color can continue changing and intensifying until 2 years of age. If the kitten is a pointed kitten, its eyes will remain blue.
