À propos de cet audio

The first time your kitten opens their eyes, they can't actually see you. For the next few weeks, you're nothing but a warm blur - a presence, a feeling. But somewhere around week four, everything changes. You finally come into focus.

In this episode, we decode the complete science of kitten vision development - from sealed eyelids to the moment they truly see you for the first time. Spoiler: "eyes open" is just the beginning of a much longer journey.

Most sources tell you kitten eyes open between days 7 and 14. What they don't explain is why your kitten still can't see clearly for weeks afterward. The answer involves three invisible barriers: a vascular network covering the lens, photoreceptors that need time to mature, and neural pathways that take months to fully wire.We explore the landmark 1984 Braastad study that revealed something counterintuitive: kittens raised in complete darkness actually open their eyes FASTER than kittens raised in light. We also discuss Nobel Prize-winning research by Hubel and Wiesel that established the critical importance of visual input during early development - proving that if kittens don't receive visual input during a specific window, they never develop normal vision.
