How long does it take for a cat to recognise its owner?

Normally a kitten will become familiar with its environment and owner after about one to two months of ownership and will then recognise its owner. When the kitten first arrives in an unfamiliar environment, the owner should not contact the kitten directly, as the kitten is unfamiliar with its surroundings and direct contact with the kitten will lead to a strong stress reaction, which will lead to difficulties in recognising the owner later. The owner can place the kitten in a quiet environment and give it plenty of water. After the kitten is familiar with the environment, the owner can slowly approach the kitten and feed the kitten or use toys such as cat teasers to play with the cat to increase the affection between the owner and the kitten. When the kitten starts to get close to its owner and becomes dependent, it will recognise its owner.
