A cat's jaw has only up and down motion. It does not have any lateral, side to side motion, like dogs and humans. It may take as long as 2 weeks for a kitten to be able to hear well. Their eyes usually open between 7 and 10 days, but sometimes it happens in as little as 2 days.

Unlike humans, cats do not need to blink their eyes on a regular basis to keep their eyes lubricated.Cats' hearing stops at 65 khz (kilohertz); humans' hearing stops at 20 khz. Cats have 32 muscles that control the outer ear (compared to human's 6 muscles each). A cat can rotate its ears independently 180 degrees, and can turn in the direction of sound 10 times faster than those of the best watchdog. Indoor cats typically live 14 to 20 years although the oldest-known cat lived to an amazing age of 36. Domestic cats tend to live longer if they are not permitted to go outdoors (reducing the risk of injury from fights or accidents and exposure to diseases) and if they are spayed or neutered.
