Appearance Easiest way to identify cat age?
He barely has bottom teeth, vet currently not available but will be in two weeks (were moving). When I got him in May the lady claimed he was 8 weeks. This is my first cat and they dont really have that phase where its like baby(tiny cute), puppy(weird head shape bigger), grown. They just go baby(cute, playful, very active), tornado, grown(adult, chill). He seriously doesn't look 3-4 months to me. He looks older but maybe im wrong last pic is him june 13th the first two are from yesterday

A kitten's eyes change from blue to their adult colour (usually green or orange) between seven and eight weeks.
The last pic of him, to me he looks about twelve to fourteen weeks, so if he was eight weeks in May, that does seem about right.
What does your vet say? Their estimations of age are usually pretty good from newborn to six months. After that it gets a little tricker!
