I am really starting to wonder how old my tiny fuzz is. I tried to weigh her and the scale wouldn't even register her. It seems to me she is about a half of a lb. .Her back is as long as my hand. Her fangs are in and two back teeth are in about the same as the fangs but her up front teeth look like they just came in a day or two ago.  I am taking her to the vet Monday for shots so he can tell me then what he thinks but what do you guys think. Oh and all the other kittens that were there was just as small.

Hello Casey,

I think from your picture, she is anywhere betweeen 8 and ten weeks, she is certainly a very pretty furbaby, with the sweetest little face:)

Greetings,

Birgit

she looks between 6 to 10 weeks old. If you have a scale for yourself that has ounces on it, then try weighing yourself and then weigh yourself with the kitty in your hand.. She is so so cute.. Pat

Casey...what color were her eyes when you got her?  From the pic they look to be greenish or gray...it is hard to tell.

I ask because when we found River his eyes were blue which indicated to me he was only about 4-5 weeks old.  Kittens eye color change from blue to copper, green, or grayish at about 6 weeks.  My guess from what I see in the pics is she is somewhere from 6-8 weeks.

Thats great didnt think about that , he eyes are almost pure silver like her coat but they have a very slight hint of green toward the middle but you have to look really hard.

If her canines are in, she's definitely older than 4 weeks and probably closer to 6 weeks or older.  Use a postage scale to weigh her--then you can get an idea of her age, since she looks healthy, by how much she weighs.  Figure on about 4 ounces for each week of life.

She's a cutie.

My guess would be at least 8 weeks.  How many were in  the litter do you know?  If it was a large litter then they would probably be a bit on the smaller side.

Cheesy What a little cutie she is! I'm going to guess that she's between 6 and 8 weeks old. It's hard to know for sure though. I think the vet may give you a better idea.
