Kittens are known for being hyperactive and playful, but they do calm down as they age. The age at which kittens calm down varies, but most kittens calm down with age. Here is a breakdown of the general milestones of a kittens growth:

• 2 weeks - 3 months: This is the "terrible twos" period of a kittens life, and it is usually when they are most hyperactive. They will have a lot of energy and will be very playful, so be prepared for zoomies and scratching. This is normal behavior for a kitten as it is an instinctual way for them to mark their territory and maintain their claws.

• 3 to 6 months: At this age, kittens have been completely weaned and are active as hunting instincts develop. They will typically want to follow and catch anything that resembles prey. This period of their life is usually when they are the most social and active, spending a lot of energy playing and generally acting crazy.

• 4-9 months: During this age range, kittens shift more into a "hunter" mentality and might start to sleep more during the day and play more at night. They are considered teenagers at this age.

• 9-14 months: At this age, kittens are considered adults and will have adjusted to their human familys routine. They will be calmer and more docile, and you can expect more restful nights of sleep.

• 1-2 years: Usually, when a cat is between 1 and 2 years old, theyve reached maturity and will become calmer. They will still have energy, but they should be notably calmer with it reaching full maturity at 2.

Its important to remember that hyperactivity in kittens is normal behavior and just their way of practicing to be an adult, channeling their more primal energy with playful violence. To help your kitten settle down, provide plenty of toys and activities to keep them entertained and a consistent routine that includes set meal times, playtime, and sleep time. This will help your kitten feel secure and calm.
