Sensory development of Felis catus.
The sensory development of 22 kittens was observed for 12 weeks. Vision-related responses began as a palpebral reflex at 1.8 days and continued as a light blink response at 5.7 days (mean values). The eyes unsealed between days 6 and 17 and the pupillary reflex was well developed within a few days. Depth perception began at 13.2 days mean. Auditory development progressed rapidly after the opening of the external canals between days 7 and 14. Pain and rooting reflexes were present at birth, while auriculonasocephalic and Galant's reflexes were highly variable.
Neuromuscular development of Felis catus.
Neuromuscular development was studied for 12 weeks in 22 kittens. Vertebral extensor, flexor and combined dominance was recorded in several phases. Thoracic limb support began between days 1 and 10, while the initiation of pelvic limb support ranged up to day 25. Crossed extensor and Landau reflexes were present in most kittens at various times up to day 19, although the Magnus response was nt seen. Auricular muscle control developed at 1-5 weeks, about the same time as claw control.
