4-Week-Old Maine Coon Kitten – Growth Milestones & Care

One Month of Magic: Watching My Maine Coon Kitten Grow

In just four days, one of our precious Maine Coon kittens will turn one month old — and I’m amazed at how much can change in such a short time.

From the moment he opened his little eyes to the wobbly steps he now takes around the nest, every moment has been a quiet miracle. At this age — around 4 weeks — Maine Coon kittens begin developing quickly, and every day brings a new “first.”

🐱 What a 4-Week-Old Maine Coon Kitten Can Do:

  • Eyesight & Awareness: His eyes are fully open, and he’s becoming more aware of his surroundings. He can recognize his siblings, mama, and even me as I gently interact with him.
  • Mobility: Though still a bit clumsy, he's starting to walk! His coordination improves daily as he strengthens his muscles.
  • Socialization: He’s learning early social behaviors through play and interaction with his littermates.
  • Grooming: I often see him trying to copy Floppa’s grooming habits — licking his paws or washing his face. It’s heart-melting.
  • Early Litter Training: Around this age, some kittens begin exploring the litter box with their mom’s guidance.

🐾 The Mama’s Role: Floppa’s Gentle Guidance

Floppa, our proud Maine Coon queen, is so loving and patient. She keeps them warm, clean, and fed — but she’s also teaching. At this stage, the mother cat introduces basic routines, boundaries, and behaviors. Watching her gently nudge her kitten back when he wanders too far is a lesson in silent parenting.

I’ve learned that early life is not just about feeding and cuddles — it’s about learning how to be a cat.

Why These Weeks Matter

The first month is crucial in building a confident, healthy, and well-adjusted Maine Coon. Proper interaction, space, warmth, and calm observation help them grow into the gentle giants this breed is known for.

I’m so excited to continue documenting their growth, little quirks, and every sleepy stretch.
