Lazy eye...

My kittens are now 3 weeks old today. I noticed one of the kitten's eyes wanders out. Is this normal and will it (hopefully) go away with time?

It's normal in kittens of a young age. If it persists, you should have it checked out by a vet. Even if it does, I don't imagine it is anything to worry about.

My 8 year old cat is cross eyed and always has been. It just makes her even more special.

It usually corrects itself. If it doesn't it might be wise to just have a vet check it out but it shouldn't impact too much on the kitten's quality of life or abilities. Cats adjust brilliantly to this.

Thanks for the replies. I hope it goes away as this kit has the sad puppy eyes thing going on.
